Try the two really dynamic kite sports of land boarding and traction kiting on the long, golden sands of Cornwall, making the most of the vast beaches and the wind. 

This full day experience is your chance to not only learn the basics of traction kiting, but develop this by choosing either landboarding or kite buggying making it just that little bit more adventurous!

Traction Kiting - using a parachute like kite you can be powered along the ground and if you are confident enough, pulled up into the air.  You will be taught how to control your 4-line power kite and utilise the natural power of the wind to have a fantastic, exhilarating time.

AND

Land Boarding - Kite landboarding is a great fun and excellent way to progress from traction kiting.  Using an off-road skateboard or mountain board you will learn how to harness the power of the kite to travel back and forth across the wind at speed.  You will develop an understanding of the wind and how to harness its power. The most extreme of all kite activities!

OR

Kite Buggying - Kite Buggying is a great sport for all those who have had a go at traction kiting and want to try something new. Buggying is the most exhilarating of all kite sports . Sitting in a three-wheel buggy only a few inches off the ground controlling the steering with your feet and the accelerator with your arms it is an all action activity, which really is great fun! Coached on how to control the buggy and kite together, you will find yourselves moving around in no time at all.
