well last week i did the first ever 24hr kite landboard.
Conditions were insane to say the least. 25knots as a minimum rising to 30-35 gusting to 40+ when the squals hit.
I managed 240km in these manic conditions.

That's AWESOME!
We never get wind that lasts that long. I can only assume you took breaks periodically. Tell us more!

It challenge was simple. "how far can you travel in 24hrs" I used a landboard and Gannet on the kite bike.
Your right the kitebike is bat arse.
Its was simply the most insane conditions i have ever flown in.imagine flying in 30-40 knots for hours? Then try and do it at night on an 8m inflatable!!! doing 50-60kph and you can't see the ground to know if its hard or soft. then a squall hits and the wind spikes and its all on!!!
