HURLED ALONG BY WIND, THESE TINY VEHICLES TEAR ACROSS THE OCEAN FRINGES ON 3 OR 2 WHEELS
Like windsurfing, only easy to pick-up, faster and drier, blokarting is a fantastic activity where wind gusts translate to rapid accelerations as the blokart hurtles across flat sand.
Totally clean motion, blokarting should appeal to a wide range of corporate event groups given its speed, mechanics and the assured spills on the sand at the water’s edge.
BLOKARTING / SAND YACHTING PRACTICALITIES
A modern version of sand yachting, these nimble craft suspend the driver in a fabric seat, just above the sand. The 3 wheeled blokart makes a stable unit, which can also power along on 2 wheels when the winds are cross-winds. Steering with one hand and trimming with the other, these elegantly simple machines can thunder across the flat, spacious sands at low tide. Strapped in, it is not uncommon for ‘turtle moments’ when colleagues have to right the blokart, as the driver is suspended in the air.
Courses can be set, and races undertaken around cones or markers on the beach. Low tide offers far more terrain and on windy days, when the bathers are few and far between, the courses can stretch huge distances long the beach and out to the sea’s shoreline. The first corner is often carnage as the accelerating and precariously balanced blokarts all head for the narrow line around the corner. Blokarting is a unique activity that delivers serious fun and connects the clients with the natural world, through the relentless power of the wind.
BLOKARTING / SAND YACHTING LOCATIONS
On the Belgium coast to the north of Bruges, the wide and highly tidal stretches of sand offer some superb terrain and seemingly limitless winds to power the blokarts.
