Power kite fans will love Yorkshire. There are plenty of wide, windy and quiet beaches in Yorkshire to practise your skills and if you fancy a change from scudding down the beach, why not try a mountain board or a purpose built buggy? There are a number of kite shops in the county that will be happy to get you kitted up.
If you can fly a kite then this is for you. Even though power kites are considered an extreme sport, the sport is aimed at almost everyone, as there are different skill levels for every individual who decides to take up the sport. The level of fitness and experience required depends on the wind speed and your abilities as well as the size of the kite.
For beginners it is recommended that you try out some kind of training programme that some power kite shops and companies provide; this is very useful as there is some level of training required to really get you started in your new sport. Otherwise the advice is start with a small kite and in sensible wind speeds!
Start small, bring your kite into the power zone, lean back and let the power of the kite pull you skidding along the beach - wear old slick soled trainers and old clothes as you will get wet and sandy!
Progress to tricks, stunts and jumps, but remember to keep out of the way of everyone else using the beach! Walkers, dogs and even horses are familiar sights to the area.
This is great in winter as it is often windier and the beach is quieter so you have more room. All you need is a power kite - but start with a small one!
When you've mastered the art of 'scudding' you can progress to try using your kite to power you along on a mountain board or a purpose built buggy.
If you're new to the sport, try Blue Frog Adventure, based in Whitby who can teach you buggy and board based power kiting.
