Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 It is like normal kite flying, only using a power kite that can generate large amounts of pull, and can be increased even more when stacked together. When you sit in a small buggy, you can be pulled at up to 25-30 mph. I do this on my local heath, which is common land, but there is also a golf course, and golfers do not like kite fliers, but the land is there for everyone. Kite flying is a great way to get outside, and it is great for upper body strength. I have to sit down as my balance means that when it starts to pull hard, I get pulled over easily. I recommend kite flying to anyone to help relax, there is nothing more relaxing than flying a stunt kite, or any kite.
