Yes, don't just expect someone will give you a ride back up wind. I've missed my shuttle before as I had a breakdown and or dumped my kites in the waves before, so I'm grateful for the few rides I've received in the past. I've definitely given more rides to strangers than received.
Cleaning a car full of well sand isn't exactly my favorite thing to do, but I'll do it as it is the cost for having a lot of fun.
Be willing to shuttle. DON"T JUST TAKE. Got to give back too!
Also, make sure to bring extra rinse water for gear and body. It runs out quickly.
If you're begging for a ride back up wind because you didn't coordinate a shuttle, BETTER be damn sure to have LOTS of extra "truck driver cold" beers in your cooler at lot B (or wherever), perhaps something else that became legal recently, some non-alcoholic drinks, and maybe some snacks. If not, throw the driver of the car some cash for the car wash and vacuum job they will need. |
