There’s never been a better time to get into kite buggying. This awesome sport takes you places you’ve never been, to speeds you never thought possible. And all with your bum just a few inches off the ground!

The Kiwi credited with creating kite buggying is Peter Lynn, so needless to say his buggies are the bomb. There are around 10,000 of his hand-made speed machines out there wheeling around and having a grand old time.

We currently have 20% off new Peter Lynn kite buggies, but hurry, this offer can’t last long.

The Peter Lynn Comp Buggy Mark II is light, fast and durable. Perfect for hard-packed sand or grass, you can chuck it into a hard turn or belt up and get some air. Available with wide or narrow wheels to suit your terrain.

Full of hot air? Might need one of these…

March 9th, 2011

Happening right now at a kite spot near you…

Kitesurfer 1: That’s gotta be 20.
Kitesurfer 2: Nah, I reckon it’s barely 18.
Kitesurfer 1: You’re dreaming, look at those whitecaps.
Kitesurfer 2: Forget your whitecaps, how about them treetops?
Kitesurfer 1: Twenty, easy. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Kitesurfer 2: Fifteen. I know this spot, mate.

[enter kitesurfer 3, beach left. Holds windmeter to sky, notes accurate wind reading, makes a judgement and selects appropriate kite for the conditions.]

Kitesurfer 1 and 2 (to kitesurfer 3): Excuse me, mate!

***

We know you’re all experts, but sometimes it’s nice to know what the wind is actually doing… A windmeter (officially an anemometer) is a great tool for those of us yet to become expert treetop readers.

These nifty new windmeters by Skywatch will give you an accurate wind-speed reading in seconds. Attach it to a tripod to chart the average wind-speed, maximum speed and gust strength – you can even submerge them to chart the strength of the tide. While the Eole provides all these features and more, the Meteos also provides air temperature and wind chill – ideal for snow kiting.

Kitepower old gear amnesty!

February 23rd, 2011

Do you have dinosaurs lurking in your garage? Is there an ancient species of C-kite or a fossilised kiteboard hiding out beneath the ab-roller? An inflatable with no safety system rolled up beside the surf ski?

It’s time to rein ’em in. Dust off all that old crap and bring it to us. We promise not to laugh.

Instead, we’ll give you 25% off new gear.

Seriously, this is no joke. We’re tired of hearing about old (sometimes dangerous) kiting gear that’s roaming free out there or holed up in boxes. Bring us any old kite, board or harness and we’ll trade it in for a new one. And we’ll give you 25% off.

Even if it’s broken, ancient or truly hazardous, we’ll take it off your hands.

This offer won’t last much longer, so get in here before the window of opportunity closes!
