I am sure this notion has been considered and discarded, but foolishly I am going to ask this question anyway. What about certain sandy beaches around the UK. I appreciate that the surface quality is questionable (far too rough and not enough traction?) and winds as hard to predict as anywhere. But I have walked across Holkham Beach in North Norfolk with wind well above 25kts on a few occasions recently, this beach in particular is very wide allowing a good chance of optimal direction.

I can think of many logistical reasons for not using these locations (not least getting permission to operate), but have not some very high speeds been attained on sand by Class 3 landyachts elsewhere in the world?

Best wishes,
