I finally got a good opportunity to buggy with my newest and largest power kite today. The 8.5m C-quad is a light-wind buggy kite and this afternoon at the Wakapuaka Sand Flats there was a perfect 10 knot north-wester.
This picture gives you a good idea of the size of this kite. I produces an enormous amount of power so a 10 knot breeze is perfect. Thats my neighbor Rawiri standing behind it.
The above two shots of me buggying were taken by Rawiri.
Tomorrows forecast is the same as todays so I'll probably be back out there about lunch-time for another go.
