New name for the kite buggy?
What if we called the buggy a "kite cart" or something more flattering than buggy. I know it's what we've always called it but I don't think it
conveys what we are doing with them. Thoughts?

But why stop at something so literal. How about terraluge? 
I kinda think kite buggy is pretty cool. But then again I liken it to things like dune buggies and baja buggies, not prams and baby strollers.

Kite cart?!? Really? Puts me too much in mind of:
If you're going fast enough, I guess you could call it a hovercat...
 
Err umm.... make that hovercraft.
If you were willing to pay the licensing fees, I expect you could call it a Landspeeder
And if you get caught doing something you shouldn't be doing....

P.S. Keep in mind the various "... Buggy Bash" events you will have to rename to something less alliterative.

I have a Kite Trike by Cloud 9 and it does NOT deserve to wear the badge name for all Bugs out there! It's in a class of its own! Do they have AAA for
Buggies?

I guess a buggy by any other name would still be a buggy.

Sam, this is just to much. I am sitting here thinking way to much about this thing. We need to get you a job, away from the computer. Maybe take up a
collection to start things off.
If we put a hitch on the back of that cart he could give rides to all the kids while shopping at Safeway for dinner. Maybe add a bell to warn the old
lady who stopped in the middle of the isle to try to read the label of Jello as he tries to get by. I could go on and on about this cart.
Maybe I need a job away from the computer, my wife keeps telling me to turn it off.:puzzled:
I could put an electric motor on the cart with flames along the side with a racing number and sponsor decals.........

Kite buggy sounds fine until you tell someone that you do kite buggying, then they say kite what?

Don't the Europeans call them Parakarts ? That sounds slightly more exotic than 'buggy'....

That does sound more exotic but would still require the usual distinction from land sailers and kiteboarding. You might have something there. I
really don't think we could change the name on a whim even if we wanted to though.
