80kph kitebuggy @ Muriwai

[kiwibob72]

Hey P, up in akl on Monday, might try and pop in and see ya.

Find it funny these guys want proof that you cracked 80, being there are a number of the old school guys like us who have managed it prior!!

Guess it pays to live in the land where kite buggy's were invented!!

Later,

It can hurt even at 40Kph! - these things don't run on 500lb flying lines for nothing.

I did have a GPS on board and the 80kph run was witnessed- next time I'll make sure the GPS gets videoed.

I have been up to 101kph-have a look at buggybags dot co dot uk

Muriwai is on the west coast of the north island in New Zealand.About 40km west of Auckland.

I want to join the 70 mile club, all I need is one good 40 knot day.

how did the buggy proform? did you get much speed wobbles.

[kiteworks]

The buggy is running sweet, I balanced the wheels which helps keep the buggy running in a straight line.

[kiteworks]

Wind speed was about 20 knots
