I’ve not posted much this month, due to being the owner of a Peter Lynn XR kite buggy, bought off e-bay for a little over £100. Its a great new toy and lots of fun tearing down the beach, I’m not so sure of the speed I’m doing, but at a few centimeters from the ground it feels pretty fast.
The first day I was out on the buggy, I spent four hours on Aberavon beach learning kite control in the buggy, and getting my break-lines tweaked by some of the hardened pro’s. (Thanks to Fester @ Kitecrowd)
I’ve been out quite a few times since then, and have began to learn that the basic Peter Lynn buggy design is very taxing on my lower back over long periods of time, and its not just me, its a common complaint with these buggies. So I made a few drawings and luckily got a backrest made up from mild steel, which is attached to the main frame using Key Clamp. You’ve probably seen lots of railings made from this.
Anyhow I’ve taken a couple of shots of the new backrest before its covered in pipe insulation (for extra padding).
