I have been watching these boys with baited breath for quite some time. As has been the case with most of Southern and Eastern Australia this year, there has been bucket loads of rain. Not good for trying to get a dry lake, dry. I don't know how long they are planning to stay out on the lake, but if they can get a break of a few days with the right conditions, it is going to be interesting to see how fast they are going to go. https://emirates-team-new-zealand.americascup.com/

Chook on the pole. It pinched my sound track. Managed to win the State titles in the mini class and came second in the open class.

Blokarting

G'day everyone! jhn.holgate asked if I would take a moment to sit down and write a little something about my new hobby of which I think most of you will have an interest in. Yes, I've got myself a Blokart (Land Yacht) After much debate over the fact that I'm never going to grow any taller to reach the stirring bar of Doug's (igeighty) Peter Lynn Buggy, I test sailed a Blokart and was hooked! Blokart is the brand name - again an extreme sport product coming out of New Zealand and ever becoming popular across the globe, much like the kite buggying. So what's different between the Blokart and Buggy? Well quite a lot....first of all, 3 minutes of set up and your read…

Ripiro Beach is located on the Kaipara Coast line, (North West of the North Island of New Zealand) (close to Glinks Gully where the Moose Meet is held) Taken from the Coast New Zealand - aired May last year. Ripiro Beach is a 107lm long golden beach and is a gazetted highway so the standard rules of the road apply. It is possible to drive along its hard sands two hours either side of low tide, 4WD vehicles are recommended. It is suggested that you ask locals about the conditions before venturing on to the sands. Fantastic location for buggies and land yachts and yet another reason to attend the Moose Meet future events. Coast - Blokart 1.mp4

Thank you for making a topic section for blokarts. Its nice to share my experiences with my blowie in a room dedicated for the sport. I know John H and Cris are both interested. I got into blokarting as I could not reach the foot steering bar on my partner Doug's Peter Lynn buggy.

Wednesday night, after I'd already retired to bed comes a knock at the door. "Gday Doug, go wake Mezz up, I have a present for her." It's almost 10pm and @.Joel is standing in our front room with a grin from ear to ear and in his arms, a yellow sail bag with "Gaastra Sails" printed across the bag. He and @Chook had been talking and had come up with the idea. I've been trying to locate a second hand blokart 3m sail but they're silly prizes. So knowing Doug is a bit handy with the sewing machine from making kites, Joel brought around a "Gaastra Wavefoil 4.6 Sail" with the idea to get Doug ( @igeighty) to make up a custom 3m sail for me, in pretty colours. So the "buil…

Here's a beautifully filmed doco on the 2014 Land Sailing World Championships held at Smith Creek in Nevada. It's not so much the race, but a look at the Playa, the weather, the people, why they race and what they race. It's a long vid, so if there's rubbish on TV, grab a beverage and sit down in front of this in HD (it's a little over 35minutes). There's some stunning footage of storms and even a little twister on the playa. One of the best vids I've seen on youtube and much better than all the crap on TV at the moment.

Taken from the Boys Brigade Australia Blokart Manual, how to correctly behave around another land yacht, and I'd assume kite buggy also. I try and not go under the lines of the kites and stick close to the water edge.

This all started because of moving house.Not as many places to fly although i was very near a large common pasture ( Beverley Westwood ) In the summer the place is full of dog walkers , children , cows and cow sh#t and lots of grown men in rupert bear trousers hitting little white balls with bats ,then trying to find them in the rough grass. But in winter its a bit of a bleak place the walking sh#it machines have gone indoors or into burgers and only the hardiest dog walkers tackle the mud and slopes. I had a short time kite buggying around the westwood , the ground was not great with a fair few slopes but it was almost doable, but after a …
