With so many options for buggies on today's market, it can get confusing which brand to choose. Some are better cruisers, some are better freestylers,
some are better novice, and some racers. We can absolutely see where this can create confusion and have been working on a solution. That solution is
Corsair Kite Buggies. Corsair will soon offer everything from entry level recreational buggies to professional level race buggies.
The first of the Corsair line is a race buggy. (Frigate class) It is aptly named "Flying Dutchman". It will feature curved side rails, a long rear
axle, adjustable camber, adjustable ride heigth, and much, much more. This buggy is still in its prototype stage and will be hopefully available for
demo at JIBE. If you were at NABX and got to take a peek at Helioboy50s buggy, it will be similar to that, but with more features.
Helioboy50s buggy at NABX
These buggies are being designed and fabricated by someone with several years of metal fabrication experience, and a meticulous eye for detail.
Sometimes he's told he's overly critical of his work. All the better if you ask this sailor! The bonus with the builder, he has been a kiter for years
and understands the dynamics of our sport. He also understands how much punnishment we put our gear thru and builds there buggies to withstand that
punnishment and more.
More details will be provided as they become available. I wish we could give you more on the "mystery buggy", but if we give more information it
wouldn't be much of a mystery now would it?
I guess using classes of ships to describe the handling of the buggy will work ok for those of you who know your boats but I imagine it will leave
more than a few of us scratching our heads.....:puzzled:
\"Well we are all hurtling around in 3 wheeled, tip over prone, non crash tested vehicles with no brakes that we steer with our feet. Just
sayin\'.....\" --heliboy50

It's not a secret, obviously The prototype is under construction so photos are
a little short right now. I will have the proto at JIBE. Reviews? Again, hard to supply before the buggy is complete. Helioboy50 is the builder and
designer and judging from the response for people at NABX that took the time to look at the buggy, he's pretty good at what he does
Not trying to create a lot of anticipation really, just putting a little info out there as info becomes available. I'd give more details but I don't
have all the details yet. I will give more as they become available. I'd rather give tid bits as I get them that i know are fact rather than speculate
and be wrong.
John: Sorry mate, should have mentioned that Corsairs naming method goes back to pirate roots so to speak. Corsair is using types of pirate ships as
buggy classes

Cool! The secrecy I was talking about was this info which obviously was accessible already. Heli seemed pleased with how the buggy handled so lets
see how things turn out! Carry on!

Speaking of gossip I heard there is a spare apexx hanging out in Henderson and beaver is giving away free parts :shocked2:
I haven't given anything away yet but I've been working on my polishing skills since the extra Apexx arrived. I've found it's a waste of time if you
don't start out with 60 grit and then work your way up.

Update: The QAR will be at JIBE and based on input we have been getting from fellow kiters, it would appear a freeride buggy will be next on the
agenda. (Sloop class)
Prices are not yet set in stone but I sent you an email anyway
We plan on being quite competitive in the pricing department. I'll update with pricing once the proto is in production, should be not too long after
JIBE
