-
Kitebuggying - You will use your kite to pull this three wheeled vehicle across the sand. But be warned - no brakes!
-
Kitesurfing - Using an inflatable kite your day will be spent body surfing in the water and even trying out standing on the board at the end of the day.
-
Landboarding - Speed along the beach or field on a mountainboard (like a skateboard but with all terrain tyres), propelled by your kite.
