During World War I, Kite buggy's were used for enemy observation and signaling for the British, French, Russian and Italian armies. Then in World War II, the US Navy found several uses for kites, such as preventing airplanes from flying too low over targets.

Riding a Kite Buggy is based on skill, the only way to learn is to get out there and carefully teach yourself how to ride. Once you have ridden several times you will get the hang of it and you will understand how to ride successfully.

Make sure you start out with a smaller kite until you get the hang of it, slowly moving to bigger kites along the way. Get comfortable with the kite and buggy. Make sure that the wind speed is about 10 to 20 miles per hour or you may not ever achieve lift off.

Never fly your Kite buggy over trees, buildings and people. It's best to fly over hard packed sand or on a grassy sports field. Once you have mastered driving the buggy you can also fly over lakes, as long as you have an open area to land in and are safe from any obstacles that may get in your way such as trees and buildings.

It may be best to seek the advice from an instructor before you attempt to learn how to ride the buggy yourself. If you have an instructor they will show you exactly what you need to do and when you need to do it as well as how you do it the safest way. This may be the fastest, safest way that you will learn.

Any responsible adult can easily learn how to Kite buggy and may just fall in love with the sport. Have fun learning.
