About Blokarting
 
What's a Blokart?

Think of a Blokart as a mini land yacht, fast, fun, safe and comparatively affordable, and you won't be too far wrong.  They are amazingly easy to sail, and are suitable for young and old alike.  Most people take minutes to get going, it's just the finesse that takes a while to learn!  Blokarts are fast and feel it as pilots are so low to the ground, but they are safe – you are strapped in and protected by metal.

Blokarts can be used almost anywhere - from beaches to car parks, sports and recreation areas, tennis courts and even on ice.  They pack into a neat easy to wheel or carry bag that will fit in the boot of most cars and can be assembled in minutes with no tools.  You just need to know  whether it’s windy or not!

Paul Beckett invented the Blokart in New Zealand in 1999, building them in a mix of light and extremely durable steel and fibreglass.  About 1,000 a year are produced and a rapidly growing  network of dealers covers Europe, UK,  Japan, USA and Australia. 

Shortly after it’s launch it was awarded the Innovations Award at Soltex, Manchester. In 2001 it was named best summer hardware product at the  ISPO sporting goods fair in Munich, being described as “perfect in every detail”.

The one design nature of the craft removes the cheque book element from racing, leading to a fun competitive fleet.  In the UK, much of the energy in the sport is to be found in the West Country and one of the best beaches for wind powered activity in the country is the length of quality sand that is Gwithian, with its' spectacular natural viewing arena.
