Hello all! Now this might go unseen as I am not sure how many people may remember my father AndyFly (Andrew, Andy) who sadly passed in 2011 from a seizure. His passion was kiting, buggying, and mostly, being apart of the BrisKites & Extremekites community. On the long weekend of Easter in 2012 my family and I travelled to Yeppoon to meet with many of the kiting community as we remembered dad for who he was, alongside an event that he loved attending (with us AndyFly "maggots" joining the fun 😂) as we scattered some of his ashes on the beach out the front of Driftwood. Our family has so many fond memories of so many different people within this community, and the…

Hi experts, years ago I did some kite buggying in Elwood and thirteenth beach. I am coming back to buggying. Where are the good places to kite buggy in Victoria. Are the videos at Sandy Point on the front beach off beach parade or on Shallow inlet. I appreciate any guidance from your experiences. I am thinking of getting a 4 metre Ozone Explore V2, is it a good kite.

I'm very interested in getting into this hobby but having difficulty to find a close by spot to enjoy. I look for advice from kite buggy folks in Missouri, New Jersey, and New York. Any good areas for kite buggy fun in these three states? Thanks

Ive recently got back into the buggy, its a peter lynn foldable with the original seat. Apart from updating the seat can anyone advise the best way to avoid by lower back being chaffed, I think its the webbing of the seat that does it, does anyone wear a rash vest under their shirts to avoid this, it gets pretty sore!! Many thanks and I don't know why I stopped buggying. i use a 3.5 rage or a 4.5 flexi can't remember the name with a kite bar and love it

Hi All, This is still just sinking in for a few of us who have found out in the last hour, however it is through wet eyes that I type AndyFly passed away earlier today from a seizure. Linda will let us know over the next few days more information, and what the funeral arrangements in Canberra will be, undoubtedly there will be a number of us flying in from all over the country to pay respect to one of the greatest people this community has had the pleasure of knowing. This has come completely unexpected, this morning at 10:10am AndyFly was posting away about a great weekend kiting with his Son and a few of the boys in Canberra ( viewtopic.php?f=74&t=15374 )…

Prepare yourself for a tale of woe but then ultimately, triumphant-ness. Monday night, 30th March: At work. I pulled a muscle in my back while vacuum cleaning which was a shame because I had planned a sneaky weekday buggy session for the following day. The forecast was looking good, 35mph-48mph winds, pretty high for inland! Red arrows covered most of the UK weather map indicating some heavy gusts to come. Nonetheless I was keen to test my new rearward facing camera and GPS setup that I had prepared over the weekend. All I can think about now is getting back home, taking a load of painkillers, rub in some deep heat and getting plenty of rest but unfortunat…

Hi fellow buggy freaks, sorry for asking a typical question from a die hard peter lynn vapor2 user: but what would be a good depower kite to start the depower adventure? i was thinking, it should be open cell, as i frequently go alone, so i need to be able to start and land on my own? i was thinking, a kite with a moderate aspect ratio? Although, will this disappoint me, as the speed will be lower compared to the vapor kites ? so, i ended up with the PL lynx? or Leopard? please advice, looking forward to your massive feedback Vincent

I have been reading a lot of the forum post but having trouble finding information on getting wider tyres for the standard PL plastic rims and what size tyre will fit inside the narrow fork. I don't mind having fatter rears as the beach around here has soft sand.

As my bug has serious egg shape in the rims that cause me to fear for my life when I hit 35 kph I started to look at new tyre / rim combinations that make for a smooth ride but are still affordable. I really like the size / profile of the tyres on @Chook's sysmic and came across these which I think may be similar. https://www.geotyres.com.au/16x6-50-8-k401-8-ply-kenda-straight-rib-tyre/ Has anyone had experience with these tyres? If so any Ideas on the rims they would fit on and where to get them.

Hi all, Figured now would be as good a time as any to say "Hi" from England.... I'm new to this forum, in fact any kite forum, but have been lurking here in the shadows for a few months very much enjoying your old posts. My limited kite history then... I purchased a Flexifoil Stacker 6' as a teenager (prob about 30 years ago) and it's lived in my car boot for years. So it got flown several times a year when the wind blew and I loved it, but I never really had the time or desire to do anything more with kites.... Covid lockdown hit and I decided flying in an empty field was a safe bet so got back into it a little last year. I purchased a FF 'Big…

Now I love my old Sysmic 2's but this is really compact! All alloy and into a bag for travel which is pretty cool. Or just folds up. And a fibreglass axle. http://www.buggykiteshop.com/index.php/buggy/sysmic-s3-a.html

An awesome session on the clay pan at Kingston SE, Australia - by far the best I've felt in the buggy yet. Probably cos of the harness thanks to @The Duke. Captured, edited and soundtracked by the inimitable @jhn.holgate. Can't wait for next year!
