Basic's to learn
I recently picked up my first buggy... a flexifoil with wide tires. I try to work on some of my control techniques for at least a little while each
time I go out... and then do the speed runs as best I can up the beach :singing:
But... I need to work on control a bit more before I get too carried away. SO I guess what I'm after... what are some of the most important things
to learn for a beginner. I try to practice doing some things in reverse... making the buggy go backwards, and finding ways to slide/skid/ burn off
speed while the kite is coming back overhead. These things can get going pretty fast :evil:
Any recommendations on things to learn as I progress?
What do you do with your foils?
Charger 8, 12, 19
Scorpion 10, 16
And other foils...

getting real
OK, lets get started by practicing clean down wind and upwind turns. Then try running the full length of the run on two wheel, first right side then
left.
After that try 180's, then reverse back straight.
Learn to throw your buggy in the turns, practice skidding off your speed and the rest will fall in place.
These are all part of getting your recreational Buggy Instructor license.
Safety gear at all times is a must.
