Welcome Dwar, you are in the right place...

Hey man

Down in CHCH we have a buggy brigade (3 of us) that make all of our own kites. We challenge you to a race someday...

What kind of kites do you use? JOJO, Bora, U turn, or gin?

Also, what type of buggy do you have?

The buggying scene down in NZ sucks at the moment. New Brighton is the best place for cruising, when the wind is blowing a Nor Easter. Us buggy guys would be very keen to meet a German buggier, as we have watched many German buggy videos before! 8)

Cheers, Will

Good to see youve made your account Ole.

As i have been talking to you i can almost answer all of Bizzads questions but ill leave that to you.

We will have you out with us for a session and you can borrow kites from all of us as we all share anyway.

Hope your gear arrives soon then we can have that race blizzads talking about.

Her my details:
My kites are from Rhombus it's a 2.8, 3.7 and a 4.8 Amun or something.
My buggy is a Libre V-Max Bigfoot, but back in germ.
Harnest is also from Libre. :twisted:

I hope we will cath up soon

sounds like we will be having some fun, you moving here permanantly?

as soon as all this rain stops the NE winds shall start to blow and we can give you a run down of all the best spots

Me and the rest of the angry eyed buggy squad will be creating a coupple of trailers in the near future so if we are on the beach you will not be left sitting on the beach if we go crusing.

The next time we go out we will do some official introductions.

Whats the forcast for this weekend Spig?

Hey guys,
My advise is. Never challenge a german buggier to a race. They are notorious over here for being super fast and efficient. Good luck boys.

Butch

All the more reason to do so Butch!

but how well would he do using our gear untill his arrives? (if we get any wind soon)

take my wins now and let zenon do the loosing later

Hey butch, the problem is i don't have my buggy. i "only" have a Pl.
But may be i will get it in a few month :twisted:
I want to try tricks and stuff and not go fast. :roll:
My buggy has a 1.45m axis with Bigfoots all round and is a V-Max from Libre.
It is a long one and realy stable. I think you will see it on this Pic 8) http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/mypics/632131/display/4473158
So we fly the "big" Kites. :twisted:

Excellent. When are your kites set to arrive?

We can both practice jumping and freestyle tricks and i might see if i can get you a seatbelt. This weekend has wind Ole so if its NE we will see you at the beach but if its NW we will give you directions to get to the Secret Buggy Spot

What ya say Ole ill have some kites there you can fly so you good to come out with us? O and does your buggy come with splash gaurd? and footstraps?

I'm still coming up sat/sun/mon/tues and bringing that big pile of semi-broken toys, I'll have to think about the old wheels and if i still need them, 80% sure I'll chuck them in for u guys.

i reckon i knowses where your sekrit spot is... i think it starts with a b and an f... 8)

think i even found some vintage aluminium arc control bars under me bed oooh...

think my buggy axle might be bending.... damnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Dont worry bout that i have the same problem. :roll:

But im going to get it rebent or ill just turn it upside down and straighten it with some jumps.

Doofus are you a speed buggy piolt or a freestyle piolt?

Im heading the way of freestyle but i think that will might be more likely to go for the whole speed thing.

aint even close

Hehe you will need directions if we are going there on sunday...but you have to wait.

My kites just arrives this morning 8) :twisted:
The DHL was really really fast. :o
So give me the directoins and i will show up on the we.

Yeeha!! :mrgreen:

This weekend will be awesome then three buggys running will be the best.

Man im excited.

Three buggys must nearly be a new record lol.

more of a kitesurfer who likes to get out for some fast sideways in his buggy every now and then..

Cool bananas.

This weekend we have:
Me: Buggy Piolt
syMptom: Buggy Piolt
Dwars: Buggy Piolt
Blizzad: Buggy Piolt/ Board Guy
Spiglord: Board Guy
Southie: Board Guy
Doofus: Surf and Buggy Piolt

Southie will be there if its a beach session so any one else putting there name up for the weekend? Norwester you coming up?

Dwars i will send you a map of how to get to Buggy Spot X

Current forecast for the weekend is looking like this: -

Sat: Wind N 5-15 Knots + rain
Sun: Wind N 10-20 knots + more rain

Beach is out & Spot 'X' may be still waterlogged...

mabie but todays paper said NW wind and sun.... wheres this rain idea coming from?

probably not at this stage but you never know

Ok well we will be having a party i better get the starburst kiting snakes ready.

Hehe its my weak link i love starburst rattle snakes and they are perfect for the buggy weekends.

O well. c some of you guys sunday.

Windguru sais nnw 14 -15 knots on sunday 12-3pm and no rain the rest of the week :twisted:

NNW means its not going to be so good for the ebach but it will be alright for the park. and a little moisture never hurt any buggy piolt.

O and by the way I will have a video camera with me so we can get some video footage of all the gang.

NNW would be a kick arse direction for jumping off that huge bank :D

YOUR ON!!!!!! The blade is now ready for some buggy jumping and hopfully some buggy 360's and such but i need this wind for some practice.

paper today says NW winds and sun tommorrow switching to SW winds later in the afternoon,

any wind there is good and hopefully its dryer than it was a week ago

If Buggy Spot X is absolutely we could probably all go to Avonhead Park the grounds are good as i was playing soccer there today and its good enough to board on and i think it is about the same amount of room as the buggy park.

It might be worth a thought if its too wet.

PYLONS!!!

lol, Avonside park = full of shit (pylons that provide power to half of CHCH plus goal posts and trees..)

Only if we get desperate :roll:

It was only a small thought if it was absolutly soaking at buggy spot x.

And yes the power lines are there but there is heaps of room beside them trust me i was only there yesterday. I would be happy to go fly there.

the weather today looks great at me moment and i will post as soon as the wind picks up

WIND IS up and building, LEAVING FOR BUGGY SPOT X IN 20MIN

update looks to be atleast 10knots gusting around 15knots

Phew, what a session!

Pretty good to finally get out there, summer is definitely on its way.

Just enough time to finish getting all the necessary kit ready. Should be all good in a couple of months.

I can totaly vouch for that.

It was awesome. Got going on the 1.7 then moved up later to the 5m.

also we had the mojority of the christchurch buggy piolts in one spot today.

Doofus came for a play on his 13m venom had had some pretty good runs on that.

I think that everyone was buggyied out by the end of the day. I know i was although i could have gone on just not as hard as at the start of the day.

O well hopefully we get next weekend some good NE wind and nice tides.

lets start using the chat zone again guys!!!

No....

yes :roll:

haha dwar your blog has been taken over by mad kiters

@ BOND thats normal on this forum Symptom, Zenon and Blizz can't be quiet!

are you originally from germany? germanys cool ive just started learning german. I saw what must of been a rookie buggyier i was going to go down and see what buggyings like but my mum made me eat my dinner and by that time he was gone (the smiley sums up how i felt about that)

That sucks.
O well i think you should get yourself a buggy. youll have so much fun in it....

good news all a buggier/landboarder has moved in down the road from me i saw him yesterday he is experienced (10 years or so he tells me) any ways s'all good cauz he said i can borrow a landboard and he said he will give me tips nd pointers wich is sweet.

On the day it was gusty and quite windy, he was sailing a 1.5 and getting some decent speed

that good to hear mate''

its always good to have a friend to kite with when learning as i did.

learnt a lot and made a few mistakes /both partys but it is a lot less painfull when you can get guidence from some one who can tell you how you can improve and what to do and what you should not do.


have fun' be safe and dont forget to buy a bloody HELMET :wink:

cheers for the heads up and i have a bucket helmet for skateboarding and mountain biking purposes will that do?

That will do fine... I use a full face helmet and others use different sorts if you want to look at another helmet talk to Spig he will be able to sort you with something...

sweet ill just use the bucket helmet for now as it is comfy and has saved my head from splitting on more than one occasion.
