Mark has been out promoting the freestyle kite buggying side of the sport for all of his power kiting days.

Qualified power kiting and freestyle buggy instructor.

Quickly becoming one of our most photographed riders and can be seen in numerous power kiting magazines throughout the forthcoming season!

Name:
Mark (Kenny) Everitt

Location:
Norfolk, UK

How did you get started in power kiting:
I saw it on a beach while kayaking! It looked fantastic so I bought a 10ft flexi and built a buggy about 5 years ago.

What equipment do you use:
Flexifoil Blades, There the only kite around that can deliver the power and control needed for the manoeuvres I want to do.

Which buggy do you use:
I use a Flexfoil Hybrid/Modified Buggy - bigger and stronger…. But then the weight is a bit of an issue.

What have you been doing the past year:
Workin to pay for all the play I’m doing, I’m at the beach most weekends and get out flying as much as I can.

What plans do you have for this year:
I have a few festivals around the UK but I am going to Las Vegas to the SBBB for a serious buggy freestyle session!

Favourite Buggy Spot:
That’s a secret - But Pendine and Saunton Sands in the UK are really good!

What is your most favourite piece of kit for power kiting:
That’s got to be the MP3 player! I cannot keep me head together without me tunes!

What would you recommend as a first time buggier who wanted to enter into the sport, what kite and buggy would you recommend and why?
Get a lesson first. See if you like it. Get a kite that is easy to work such as a Flexifoil Bullet or Ozone Little Devil. A good quality one that you will be able to use still in a few years time. A Flexifoil Buggy has got to be the one to go for when it comes to buggies though! Nice build and quality buggy that you can add to later such as a wider rear axle.

What kind of tricks do you like to do:
The harder - higher and faster tricks the better! Mainly aerial spins!

What surface do you prefer:
Sand rocks. Got the high and low friction that you need all at the same time. As long as it’s hard packed!

How do you think the sport will grow:
Hopefully massive! Been a bit slow the past few years but I think with the right angle on land based activities it can be as cool as the water based side of the sport!

What's is your best session to date:
There’s been loads in different ways and locations. But just a really good steady wind of about 20-25mph on the local beach. All day just pulling massive airs!

Have you received any injuries from power kiting:
Not as yet but I always wear loads of safety gear to help prevent it!

Anything else you want to say:
Just go out and give it a go!
