hi, I'm polls and I'm a newbie to kite buggying. I've had a HQ Scout 4m kite for a while and got a bit bored of static flying so Ive decided to buy a buggy, i've gone for a Peter Lynn Competition ST to ease me in. Any info or suggestions on getting into it would be helpfull!!
cheers

Welcome to the forum. You will do well with that pairing.
Biggest trouble I've seen with first-timers in the bug is chasing the kite downwind and running over your lines. I've assembled some tips here...

Where are you and what kind of place do you have to buggy with?

hi, cheers for the reply. I'm in he south west of England so luckily I've got some pretty sweet place to play with. I've got two beaches within half an hour driving distance that are both over 2 miles long and pretty wide at low tide so I'm sorted for that.
Bit annoyed at the mo because I havent had the wind to take the buggy out yet! maybe next weekend will be better, you can always hope!
cheers
