hi, i first came accross this site when looking for help in which kite to buy, and atlast i have a Ozone Octane 4m with the quad handles, i am
intending to get into either buggying or boarding, but do not know which would be best, however i have been advised to wait at least 6-7 months, i
will be running mainly on fields used at weekends for amatuer league football so grass is relatively short, whoever i only live 30mins from a beach so
during summer months i will be more likely to go to the coast if wind conditions are good:puzzled::puzzled:BeamerBob - 22-12-2012 at 01:26 PM
In general, buggies are better for relaxed riding and more potential for speedy runs. The board is typically better for smaller riding areas, for
those more interested in jumping. All these generalities can be blurred. Buggies are more "if" you fall and with boards you can expect to be on the
grou d most if not all sessions.cheezycheese - 22-12-2012 at 02:53 PM
What type of sand do you have at the beach...? Soft and silty or nice hard pack...? This will make a difference.crazyherb - 22-12-2012 at 02:57 PM
I like the portability of boards....Mojorizn - 22-12-2012 at 05:36 PM
Hook up with others in your area if ya can. Ya may get lucky and have the opportunity to try both.
Personally, I like the buggy as it's more relaxed flying ...imo.
But, I do have both and they each have pros and cons.carltb - 22-12-2012 at 05:46 PM

, do you mean ainsdale, i may do that as southport,fleetwood and st annes are the main beaches, howeve i didnt get chance
to go to southport much due this year as everytime i went there was either no wind, or the beach was flooded, "sounds stupid but the tide never used
to make it halfway up the beach, in an answer to the question about sand types, primarily it would be quite hard packed, but some of the beaches are a
mixture of hard packed, and siltyoldham82 - 23-12-2012 at 04:42 AM

I like both.
Being able to just toss out the board and ride makes ATB the 1st choice. The simple portable route seems to win out many days.
If I have time then buggy and blades come into play.
If you can, try them all !oldham82 - 30-12-2012 at 11:31 AM
i know i havent been on this thread for a little over a week, i have two questions concerning buggies, do any of you recomend the eolo sport kite
buggy "since it wouold be my first is it necesary to go for a higher end piece of kit" or would you recomend staying away from this from experience,
secondly i have read some people claim to have experienced problems with the wheels fitted as standard, am i right in thinking that wheels are pretty
much universal not including the extra wide or bigfoot style wheelscarltb - 30-12-2012 at 12:03 PM
steer well clear of the radsail unless you are getting it for free. you can pick up a second hand peter lynn comp or a flexifoil buggy for between
£100 and £200oldham82 - 30-12-2012 at 12:32 PM
are they really that bad, i was intending to buy new, as i have had more bad experiences with used item than i can count, most recently a car,
everything was fine until the garages 30 day warranty ran out and i ended up with a repair bill that cost more than the car,
