I was wondering if I could some reviews of some of the buggies on the market from some of you guys that have already gone _buggy_ . I have also heard of a new seat back made of Lexan . I think it is for kyak's , but it can be adapted to a buggy . I was told that it was made by Moran(winder guys) and that it was a great option . Does any one know anything about it ?

There are several pages of info. on buggies there. If you can't find a local kite store that carries KiteLines, call the magazine directly at 410-922-1212 (Fax 410-922-4262).

I know of two seat-backs that are available: First on the scene was the sling-back. This is basically a plank of plastic for the spine, supported by a pair of straps that connect to the side-rails. It's crude but effective. I've never missed it while buggying, but it's damned comfortable for when you are sitting around afterwards... Dean Jordan was showing off a complete replacement seat at El Mirage. This is suspended all the way round by bungee chord and is all padded, so it is very comfortable. It smooths out the bumps of the ride (useful at Berkeley...) and doesn't dig in to my back like the Lynn seat does. Andrew -- This is not the account that I usually Email from.

It is originally the design of Julian Wolfe-Patrick, and is being produced by Moran Precision Aerobatics.. The Springback is a great addidtion to your buggy, and will fit both the Lynn and the Cobra buggies.. It's nice to have some back support while sailing a long reach.. You should be able to get the product soon from your nearby buggy dealer, or from Windborne Kites, Monterey, CA, or from me.. Moran is only about 25 miles up the road from me, and I've asked him for a new product release and will be posting one shortly.. Ob.
