KITE BUGGYING LESSONS

About

Our Kite Buggying lessons are best on Gwithian beach in St Ives Bay, Cornwall and an ideal beach sport for all the family. Imagine whizzing along the beach in a 3 wheeled Kite buggy no more than 3″ from the sand, grinning all the way? Welcome to the world of Kite buggying.

Our Kite buggying lessons are split into two lessons. Lesson 1 teaches you to fly foil kites in control with power and Lesson 2 focus`s on piloting the Kite buggy.

Once you have completed our Kite buggy course you can carry on at home in most open areas of ground such as large fields, airfields and of course your local sandy beach where the surface is usually flatter, smoother and the wind is stronger and more consistent.
