Sharing a passion

The weekend of 26 and 27th of February was another race weekend for the Dutch nationals kitebuggying. Saturday started off rainy. Although the course was set, rain came pouring down and after a couple of hours racing was completely suspended for the day. In moments like these it makes you wonder: why did I get up at 5 in the morning to drive for 1,5 hours to the beach for just a couple of hours waiting? Kitebuggying is not only about a sport. First of all it’s a group of people sharing a passion. Passion for wind, speed, being outdoor, enjoying the elements. And while we get our highs from the elements, they also give us our lows. And it just doesn’t matter when your out there with a group of friends.

Although most of Holland was rainy on Sunday, miraculously our beach was dry and we even saw a bit of sunshine through the clouds. A good wind was blowing and 3 races where held for both the masters as well as the open class.
