How did you get started in power kiting:
Started with a call to powerkiteshop back in the early days. I soon had myself sorted with a four liner and not really looked back since!!

What equipment do you use:
High performance four line foils, guinness, and chocolate!!

Which buggy do you use:
Standard Flexifoil Buggy

What have you been doing the past year:
Loads of practice, Getting out there as often as possible giving help and advice where needed to the incredible amounts of newcomers to the sport.

What plans do you have for this year:
More practice, advanced flatland to aerial tricks are the next on the list as well as more and more promotion of the sport as a whole.

Favourite Buggy Spot:
Its got to be Lytham St Annes for the sheer size of it and inland would have to my local learning ground of Sutton Park in the West Midlands.

What would you recommend as a first time kite buggier who wanted to enter into the sport, what kite and buggy would you recommend and why:
The most important thing to recommend for anybody getting into the sport is that kite skills must come first. You really have got to be just flying the kite for at least 3 to 6 months before you even decide on a buggy. It makes for a safer more experienced flier in the long run. Theres enough to learn just flying the kite, add on top of that learning to buggy, board or even surf and the challenge really starts to add up. Take your time and enjoy the learning process.

What kind of tricks do you like to do?
The ones other people cant do ;)

What surface do you prefer for buggying?
Hard sand or wet grass for some spins!

How do you think the sport will grow?
I can see the sport becoming more and more mainstream, maybe dedicated centres to enable ban free flying. Who knows!

What's is your best session to date?
Every session is the best, its always good to get out and about. There's always something memorable after every days flying!!

Have you received any injuries from power kiting?
Not yet!
