F&%k yea Wes! great little vid. Personally, I like the liquid variety of waves but this looks fun, amazing what a little terrain will do for a session. This starts with some funny eat dirts. Great dangle at 2:30.

Haha, can someone plz get him bigger wheels so he's not tripping every 30 seconds? Perhaps he should also consider a snowboard for riding some better terrain.

Landboarding is way fun when you skip the straps. If you go with straps also bring the first aid kit, IBProfen, and maybe consider calling 911 for an ambulance before you go out.

Oh does soft sand suck or what? I can remember coast riding in seaside. stay on the dark brown or the whitestuff will be in your face. Its not his fault and I doubt any kind of wheels would help that stuff is aweful. Cool vid and he did well with what he had to work with. Landboarding rocks.

I totally disagree!!!

Thats like saying.LandBoarding can be more fun in 10mph coastal winds than anywhere in the water with 20+. which it can be.

And Wes rides with HIllbilly's I think.

NICE FIND BARFLY. THAT'S SOME hardCORE KGB!

thanks for checkin the vids guys and all the comments.

i could use the new mbs wide trucks as well as stepping up to my longer board and of course bigger tires to keep me from faceplanting.
There could also be less sand at this spot, and a steadier wind , keeping consistent lift helping keep you up and floating.
i just know im going to be doing faceplants here and if you were to ride this spot youd just accept it or not ride there. i kinda luv the bails as much as the airs n slashes, .....masochist...
im passing up awsome kiting on the water to ride here and am way too happy to do so.

kitedirtboarding is just too much fun for me and there is noone around here who wants it. so its empty , untapped and vast.

heres a cuple more sessions from sandtraps
