The traction control allowed us to park just above the high tide line during the Kite Expo at Pismo Beach, Cal. Rigging kites and using the air compressor out of the van, I don't even bring a pump. Brought all the boards I possibly could need as the sell increased by the last day. A warm shower and lunch out of the cold wind was deluxe. Customers could use the van for its wifi access, table and chair.
