Access kite landboarding !!
LEVEL: ADVANCED / PROFESSIONAL
Off season in middle europe. During the last two month, I took a deeper look into the kite landboarding and buggy sport.

Protection and equipment requirements
MTB or Buggy?
Enjoy this unique sport with skateboarding or cart racing elements.
YOUR EXPERT
STATEMENT
Riding downhill and reaching 85 km/h on a buggy with my kite in the air, was absolutely thrilling. Amazed how versatile kiting can be.
BEFORE
Please use protection – helmet, back / knee / elbow protectors Wear a waist harness on the mountain board and a seat harness in the buggy.
EXPERT EXPERIENCE
You can choose between grass and sand, not only a question about the grip. Grass spots tend to be gusty (field, mountain), you will experience more steady wind conditions on sandy spots (beach, desert).
CHALLENGE
TO STOP!
Seriously it is so different to what you’re used to on the water.
Best tip… learn how to drift properly.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
- Choose your practice area wisely.
- Get used to flying a kite on land, even if you are an experienced kite surfer. Always choose a smaller kite.
- Before you start, practice the steering of the MTB or the buggy without having your kite in the air. Ask a friend if she/he can pull you.
