you don't need much for landboarding, so size it for the water, then depower for land.

where's the love pacifichigh?

aransha -- florence gets a wide range of winds. i find when i am having the most fun i am usually riding a waroo 9 or 7 (the 5 can be super fun too but those are usually gusty sessions). if i had to pick just one i would go for the 7, but they fly off a single bar and if you can afford the mechanic bills on a jeep you can probably buy more then one waroo.

i have not seen too much landboarding can't help you there. seems like it would be tough to get enough hard sand to make it fun.
