POWERKITES

BEACH and GRASS ACTIVITIES

Powerkite Related Activities

  • Simple recreational kite flying. Remember that stuff you did with your parents at the beach? Well we can do the same, happy, carefree, stuff and even stake them into the ground and just watch them fly. Kind of stuff that girls who want an excuse to chat and laugh at the blokes as they get dragged around like gladiators. No need to think or exercise much, just make pretty patterns in the sky when the fancy strikes.

  • Fly a stunt kite. Kites with more speed and a little bit of pull that require a degree of coordination. Learn tricks and accuracy, and get a bit of exercise.

  • Small Traction Powerkite. A small traction kite (2.5m) is a four line ram air parafoil designed to produce a solid amount of pull that will drag you, or a buggy, down the beach.

  • Large Traction Powerkite Twice the size or more of a small traction kite a large traction powerkite (4.5m to 8.5m) will physically lift an 18 stone person off the ground. Learn how to manage this kind of power safely and possibly even learn to jump if the conditions are right.

  • Downhill Buggy (Bombing). Normally buggies are used in conjunction with a fairly powerful kite to race, zip around the beach, or cross the desert. They can also be used with novices for a bit of downhill fun, with an significant element of confidence building included. These buggies don't have brakes, are steered by the feet and are made of high quality stainless steel, so there is nothing to go wrong with them and they are virtually indestructible.

  • Kite buggy. Same gear as the downhill buggy. Just add a kite and zip along the beach. A lot more challenging than it sounds and a great way to get photos of your boss/mates/managing director upside down.

Other Activities

  • Blokart. Blokarting is landyachting. large flat buggy, small wheels, roll cage, steering wheel, large sail. Needs 10mph plus wind  and firm sand. More wind is more fun.

  • Games. Frisbee, rounders, baseball, tennis etc. We even carry spades if you want to make a sandcastle! Super soakers for the boys, and Poi to check out the coordination and artistic talents of the girls.

  • Exploring. The areas we offer are rich in opportunities for walking, exploring, photography, bird watching and observing nature at it's best. We can prepare packed lunches on site and send you on your way for a couple of hours.

  • Beaches and swimming. The beaches that we offer our corporate days on are top quality, award winning beaches in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the Northumberland National Park, so swimming is a safe and quiet experience.

  • Wet weather. Firstly it's very rare with the summers that we have that it rains sufficiently all day to make it have an effect. However if it does, we can still have loads of fun on the beach and just get wet, or arrange indoor activities, such as karting, climbing
