Kite Buggying

A kite buggy is a light, purpose-built vehicle powered by a kite (power kite). It is single-seated and has one steerable front wheel and two fixed rear wheels. The driver sits in the seat located in the middle of the vehicle and accelerates and slows down by applying steering maneuvers in coordination with flying maneuvers of the kite. This activity is called kite buggying. The speed achieved in kite buggies by skilled drivers can range up to around 70 mph, hence protective clothing, including a safety helmet, is commonly worn. It is common to see kite buggying up and down the miles of miles of Gulf Beaches in Corpus Christi.
