An interview with UK & European Kite Buggying champion Craig Sparkes, discussing his journey in the sport, the development of Kite Buggying and great tips for how and where you can get started!

Hi Craig, thanks for talking to us today. So what exactly is Kite buggying and what do the competitions consist of?

Kite buggying involves flying a large power kite and sitting in a 3 wheeled buggy, using the kite’s power to propel yourself along a surface, like hard sand or a grass field. For the freestyle side we strap ourselves into the buggy to allow for aerial tricks.

In the competitions, riders compete in rounds by performing a range of tricks that are judged on height, technical ability & the overall smoothness of the trick. As you win the heat, you advance onto the next level and so forth.

How did you get into the sport?
