Power Kite Buggying for One

Manufacturer	Unbranded
Model Number	ADV_036

If you are an "adrenaline junkie" and looking for something new to do then try a wind powered beach buggy on our beaches. Learn how to fly a 2-line or 4-line Kite at Lagoon Beach. This action packed course teaches you the basics of 2 & 4 line kiting and prepares you for riding a buggy. Buggies are 3 wheeled go-karts that sit very low on the ground and use the wind for power. Once fit, you will do power slides, carves and tack up wind.



2 Line Kiting



If you want to get into power kites a 2 line kiting course is the ideal place to start. This course will give you the confidence to fly two line power kites safely and also the core skills to progress onto a four line kiting course.



In this lesson we cover:



Assessing flying site



Setting up kites



Checking equipment safety



Using the 'wind window'



Launching and landing



Landing in an emergency



Building up traction



Packing away safely



4 Line Kiting



4 line kites are a serious challenge delivering more power than 2 line kites. So much so they need brakes, hence the extra 2 lines.



By using brakes you can get a dazzling array of spins, turns, stalls and some very serious power by 'dead spotting' the kite in the strongest bit of the wind.
