KITE BUGGYING

 

Kite Buggying and Power Kiting are easy to learn and fun to do. They are a great way to keep fit.

For most people the joy of kite buggying comes from simply using the wind as a means of traction and fun, the combination of flying modern, powerful hi spec kites with buggy speed.

Buggying has come a long way since it first started out in 1990. The latest buggies are purpose built, light, have high performance and are easy to handle.

The front wheel is steered by the pilot's feet leaving both hands free to control the kites, with practice you can steer the buggy even upwind.

Regardless of age, as long as you are reasonably fit, and have respect for the wind, it is not difficult to become a safe kite buggier. Safety of course is paramount, as many of today's 4 line kites are capable of launching you into the air with explosive power.
