Hey lads. Here's some moose pictures to drool. Another fantastic Moose. Dunes were just perfect! smooth, rolling no harsh sections. Wind was lighter I used my 12m chrono for most of it.

Hey guys been a long while since posting and just starting to get the bug back after a couple of good sessions the last week. Wanted to get ideas on how one would get my 6 year old along for a buggy ride. Cheers.

Oct.8-14th was the Wildwood buggy bash held in Wildwood NJ, Usa. What started as a weekend get together has evolved into a week long gathering of buggy, boarding, and blokart family. This year, those who arrived early were treated to some amazing onshore winds courtesy of Hurricane Michael. Wildwood beach is approximately 7 miles of amazing hardpack facing the Atlantic ocean. This year we had 4 GT buggies, a PTW and 2 MG Supras as well as the assortment of PL and Flexifoil buggies. Having upgraded my gear this year allowed me to set several PB's. I buggied more this bash than all my previous ones combined.

How about this for buggying frustration! I’m staying on a caravan park at Wonga beach Queensland. Walking through the park to this beach on the first afternoon here I find a firm sand beach with a decent amount of hard sand from the waterline to the scrub and I estimate a 10 to 13 knot onshore breeze but no buggy or kites with me. Aggggghhhh!

This is probably my first post here. I usually frequent Powerkiteforum.com. But I am a heavy lurker here. In fact I feel like I know some of you, I read your threads so much. Especially the GT build thread. Was a big influence in my decision to order one, and is still a great reference. I love this buggy. Only two times out in it so far, but the love affair is solid. Here is a quick clip of my second session(first one on duros)

After reading the build process that PriatePete has been doing. I thought it maybe interesting to put up some of our own home brewed kite buggies or mods on the forum. I know Chook , Andy666 and Westfire have built some awesome buggies over the years... So to start the ball rolling here are two of mine.

Wonder why my left leg was a bit wobbly when I landed a bit hard last year. Think all that was holding it to my body was a bit of muscle and skin, as left hip still attached to leg instead of pelvis.

So my girl friend's family spend a week up in Wells net the sea every year around November. Last year the wind was great but I had no kit as I have been banned from water sports due to injury for last 2 years. This year I will have a buggy ? are there any restrictions buggying at holkham? Where can you go round there? When we were there it was blowing a hooly and would have been amazing. I'm hoping for one day of the same luck this year. Also if any admins can help me recover my old profile that would be great, my email is logged to my old works profile but mine (marshall10488) I have no idea on the email address any more.

Here's a quick video I pulled together from IBX 2018 earlier this month on the Ivanpah Dry Lake Bed on the border of CA and NV in the Southwestern USA. Great time, great people, and a great event!!! This video ended up becoming a bit of a Born-Kite love fest because I only had helmet cam footage and I was only flying Born kites this year. Hope you enjoy it!

I have just finished putting the latest parts onto my buggy and I’m wondering if I can still say that it is my original buggy? Like the grandfathers axe paradox my PL buggy has had every part replaced. Well almost, the front fork and foot pegs are still original. Now if I had of replaced all the parts at once, then I would of said that it was a new buggy that was using my old fork. But the parts have been replaced in stages over several years. So, can I still say that this is my original buggy?

Rob and I finally got a ride in on Monday. Good wind around 20kn SE. Totally hot as soon as you hit the track and equal both ways. Had a great ride for a couple of hours, was low tide but wind pushed a fair bit of water onto the track.... Made for some interesting moments aquaplaning at 60km/h plus.. Still managed to crack a 70km/h tho..... woo hoo. Rob was on his 7m Ikon Blind and I grabbed his 5m Blind as the 6m Slingshot kept deflating, need to replace the inflate valve. Been no wind since so bloody happy we got that ride in... awesome day.

Thanks @BobM for recommending going further south from Shoalhaven Heads. I'm staying in Huskisson for a week and took my PL Buggy to Currarong. Parked in the town 50m easy access down a sandy slope to the beach. Winds on shore about 13 knots. Brilliant! The 7.5m LongSar as my engine gave me hours of fun. Beach is solid but narrow in places but pretty well deserted apart from 2 fishermen. A recommended location. Note for @Chook - my 7.5m kite looked a bit small after borrowing your 15m Chrono!

GT-Race is a kite buggy brand from the Netherlands that has been around for some time, many of the top 10 world speed records have also been set in GT-Race buggies. They seem to have quite a range of options, including custom cut foot-pegs, steering lock options and a range of other parts. Take a look at the GT-Race Rapide FL for example ( http://gt-race.nl/Rapide.php ). http://www.gt-race.nl

I met up with @Easterly at Kambah ovals this afternoon. Wind was all over the place but it was a chance to blow away the cobwebs on my equipment before heading off to Kingston in the New Year and remind myself that I do still have some kiting skills. No nasty comments please! We are now hoping to get out on a dry Lake George when conditions are right, so let us know if anybody in the Canberra region wants to join us. Good to meet @Easterly and chat kiting and Buggying - thanks for meeting up.
