Kite Buggy New Zealand
Welcome to KBNZ. As the name suggests, this site is all about kite bugging in New Zealand. The kite buggy was invented here and when you take a look around at the variety locations in this country suited to the sport of kite buggying, it is easy to see why.
This site came into being because a few kiwi kite buggy pilots decided we needed a way to share our collective knowledge about the sport. We were surprised a site like this didn't exsist already in NZ, so we made our own.
New Zealand has so many great beaches suited to kite buggying that you could spend a life time trying to buggy them all, if you could find them. We would like this site to become not only a way to share and find new places to buggy, but also to talk about gear, kite buggy events, and to brag about stuff we've done in a kite buggy. Kite and Buggy gear reviews will regular features, along with reports on any bugging 'missions' we go on.
We decided on a weblog style site for this site, which means many authors can contribute (invites going out to several new authors around New Zealand very soon), and you, the reader can also contribute via the comments link at the bottom of each post.
So now we are up and running (before Christmas as promised) remember to bookmark us and return soon for a taste of kite bugging down-under.

Hi,
Excellent idea guys! My name is John and I was briefly a member of the NKC, I've met Ted and Bill. I would love to join in if you require authors as I currently have a small log of my buggying exploits on my own website - www.johnb.co.nz. Either way I look forward to reading your stories. Great site!
Cheers John

Smart, clean layout. Very easy to read.
Please don't hesitate to ask if you want any tips on the slightly more avant-garde sport of chin surfing.

Great site. Wouldn't mind writing a location review or two for you. How do I get in contact?
Any chance of hiding email addresses so the spambots don't get us?
