Kite Buggying - 1 Day Intro Course - £125.00

  • Learn to fly a high powered traction Kite
  • Take a seat in your purpose built buggy and put your new skills to the test
  • All equipment and specialist instruction is included
 Land Buggying or 'Parakarting' is a fairly simple concept - take a mad looking three-wheeled buggy, a powerful kite, no brakes and loads of speed with your backside approximately three inches off the ground. Simple. Land Buggying is loads of fun and is another of the Power Kite sports to have hit these shores over the past few years. Extreme Element's one day intro course is a great way to start Land Buggying and a really fun day.

Experience Content

You will start your day with a short safety briefing before being familiarised with the equipment - buggy, kite, harness etc. Then it's time to have some fun! You will learn to fly and control traction kites which will get you used to the power that the kites generate. Once your kite skills are developed it is time to get you into the buggy to enjoy your first runs. Top Day.
