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

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

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.

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 all, was wondering if there's any buggy fans in Brisbane (besides me). am new to the sport and as yet find it very difficult, as always on my own. I have a buggy and quite a quiver of 4 line kites, also have a second buggy and a couple of de-power kites on the way. Would love to meet a couple of like minded people to get some buggy experience with, and or help with motivation etc...

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.

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…

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!

I know, the title sucks. This is a short video. Just me out riding while testing my new storm kite, a secondhand eBay special, a barely used 5m Cabrinha SwitchBlade. I have been wanting one for years but they've always been too expensive new and I have never known them to come up for sale second-hand in this size, until now. To be honest, this video is not worth watching expect maybe for the squall at the beginning which i found interesting. No speed run this time as the wind died down after the squall to about 24 -27 knots with a cross-cross-on direction which meant I was buggying almost directly downwind at times with the kite underpowered and stalling. …

An exciting day! At Sutcliffe Reserve in Corio, with my vintage 3m Quadrifoil. Probably needed a bit more wind 😂 There were a couple of faster bursts but they weren’t captured of course... Needless to say, it was a thrill and I can’t wait for the next session! IMG_0648.mov

After VERRRRYY long break I finally got out on the buggy today. It was only a short one. About an hour and a half down at the much renovated Apex Park at Altona. 30+km SE wind with the trusty little 4m Ozone Access 2. I had really forgotten how much fun it is. Hopefully I'll get out a bit more over coming weeks.

Jon (@Kitebuggybagman) for the past 15 years has made Bags, Seats and Accessories for kite buggies. It would be great to see what people have purchased from Jon over the years, feel free to share a few photos. @roblukin and I had our seats embroidered with the Extreme Kites logo and our race numbers. Jon let me know the type and thickness of the material, I went and looked at some samples here in Australia to find the 'right orange' and had it shipped to Jon to be stitched in to the seat. Small, personal customisations like that is what I loved about the experience. @igeighty & @nigel (pictured below) had the grey/black versions.
