New Link

Just added a link in Pictures for Walter Carels Photography – some fantastic pictures of kites and kite buggying.

Click on the “Kitebuggy The Best of 2011″ and see which one you think is the best of the best!

Follow the yellow brick road…

Maybe…

Time to start updating things, been a little lax recently and the site’s not been updated as often as I would wish.

Roll on spare time…

Balancing A Buggy

Just spent a very pleasant day with Matt (AKA Windjammer) talking kites and computers and trying to sort out “balancing” my buggy.

Turns out that the weight difference between the front of the buggy and the rear axle is 27 kilos (in favour of the front tyre).  Explains why the back end of the buggy is washing out on turns.  Need to add some weight to the bug in order to compensate for this.  As I’m not a racer, this shouldn’t be an issue, although 27 kilos difference is an awful lot.

Moving the seat is not really an option as the tow point is already fairly central at about 10 cm in favour of the front of the buggy.

I feel the need for some experimentation…

Making A BATZ Logo

I’ve been playing with Photoshop again!  This time editing a picture and using a rather nice font, brush, various textures etc. etc.

Here’s the final result:

I must admit, I’m fairly pleased with how it turned out!

Off To Pineapple Joes Again…

Got the design (part) for the back, one of my Broozas:

Just wondering what else to put with it?  Think it’s better left just as it is…

Llanddona Beach With Gushie

I uploaded this picture to Facebook, but it was so small it looked silly!

The pictures were taken by me and simply “glued” together – just to get an idea of the size of the beach!

Gushie was flying his 21 meter Flysurfer Speed 3 Deluxe and riding my buggy.

Same pictures, better panoramic software!
