:smilegrin:

Sure it wasn't one of these cones? Looks like a fun day!

jantie - 22-3-2021 at 02:48 PM

Hahahaha could be Randy..

10 year old Joy needed a topic for a lecture to present at school.
Funny coincidence, the PKD kite I used is also named Joy..

So I made her this:

That's great you are getting the kids involved! :thumbup:

:thumbup:

Kite buggy is alive and well at Brouwersdam.

Windstruck - 23-3-2021 at 05:06 AM

What a wonderful video! Joy indeed. So cool to see such a vibrant wind-as-power culture over your way.

jantie - 23-3-2021 at 06:01 AM

thanks people..!!!

jantie - 23-3-2021 at 01:58 PM

Got 2 nice pictures from last sunday

jantie - 24-3-2021 at 03:06 PM

another movie from the footage of last sunday.

what a rush it was for Kwin being a newbee at kitebuggying.

enjoy!
CLICK HERE for sideride run well over 65 KPH

Randy - 24-3-2021 at 04:57 PM

:o:o :cool:

Scares me just watching, especially when the other buggy going the other direction came by.

BTW - was there some kind of blo kart race going on? Seemed to be a bunch of them there.

RedSky - 24-3-2021 at 05:32 PM

Sidecar, crab and tandem. You seem to have all the cool rides. How does the bug handle with a passenger on one side?

jantie - 25-3-2021 at 01:14 AM

@ Redsky, not even that bad.
if the passenger is not to big/heavy and leans enough forward it is okay to to the normal things like a solo-run.
the sideride is for newbee's perfect to teach the tricks of the trade, but with kids it is also fun to see the very big smile on their face.
and for myself to ride "in the back" with a small snowkite while my friend Ruud is driving is sooooo much fun.

the beachhouse Natural High rents these things for small groups of people.

it seem nearby the passing of the other buggy in opposti direction, but that's because of the wide lens. we weren't that close to eachother..

Randy - 25-3-2021 at 10:56 AM

At my local spot I am almost always the only person on the field. Only buggied once near home with another rider in about 5 years. So when I see other buggies around at Jekyll where I go once a year for JIBE I always get a bit edgy and keep my distance. Even before it was thing....

jantie - 28-3-2021 at 12:28 AM

bobalooie57 - 24-4-2021 at 12:46 PM

I was able to get out and fly the 3+M NASA wing I got from Randy from Atlanta.
Not a lot of wind, and the spot is not the best, but I got some nylon in the air at least. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HZN1avvxQpY5v59dA

RedSky - 29-4-2021 at 06:50 PM

Do you have something against cones ? :p...and that seagull piggyback ride, was it real?

jantie - 29-4-2021 at 10:38 PM

And the seagulls are real. Took it from Youtubless

jantie - 30-4-2021 at 02:26 AM

RedSky - 30-4-2021 at 02:52 AM

RedSky - 30-4-2021 at 05:16 PM

Simpler times. The world has gone crazy since.

jantie - 1-5-2021 at 05:25 AM

RedSky - 1-5-2021 at 01:25 PM

Yeah, you got it. That's a great slo-mo of the cone looking back towards you.

jantie - 8-5-2021 at 08:35 AM

Took the Coastline Cruizer out yesterday.
Got lots of video material and took a snapshot
of one...

Tao-flyer - 8-5-2021 at 07:02 PM

RedSky - 9-5-2021 at 04:49 PM

That's cheating Paul :D Looks like you're in safe hands tho. :thumbup:

@Jantie, Look forward to the full video. :thumbup:

Tao-flyer - 10-5-2021 at 09:34 AM

Yeah, that was one cheat I didnt mind doing

it was safe hands Tom..twas the guy I bought the buggy off, Johan...I've seen him flying down the beach quite a few times now so when the offer came up took it.

jantie - 12-5-2021 at 05:45 AM

:D

RedSky - 21-5-2021 at 10:56 PM

First time out this year but waste of time. Had trouble with bar, so didn't fly, went home.

Forecast for 37 mph x-on with 51 mph gusts. Noticed many trees had fallen into the road on way to beach, which is always a good sign.

Got set up, pumped and parked kite. Kite doesn't want to sit still, kept launching on tether, very naughty kite. Something majorly wrong. Bar and lines are not original to this kite, maybe that's why, first time testing it in this combo. So I did not even harness up. Too sketchy.

Now looking for a short Cabrinha bar 40 - 44 cm. New or used. Anyone?

jantie - 22-5-2021 at 09:07 AM

can't help you with that Red.

i did had some fun last thursday-evening: CLICK HERE..!!

it was a landwind but i'm not complaining.. :D:D

RedSky - 22-5-2021 at 03:27 PM

Good vid. :thumbup:

You're making me jealous with all your outings.

Shadow on the wall, wasn't that Mike Oldfield? I guess I could google it. Haven't heard Oldfield for many years.
Keep 'em coming.

jantie - 22-5-2021 at 10:05 PM

Thanks Red, and yes it's Mike in a re-mix
of 7 minutes so I can decide where to cut it off...

I try to keep an average of twice a month
to go out and play, and so far I'm not complaining..
:D:D

jantie - 31-5-2021 at 03:25 PM

jantie - 15-6-2021 at 01:19 PM
