g'day mate i land kite as well as land sail,, a good 3 wheel kite buggy you can pick up for about $500.00 there're not cheap thats for sure, as for kites if you're just learning go for something small at first say around 2 mts,,, be VERY CAREFULL as your feet can slip of the steering pedels and snap an ankle in no time,, trust me i know,,,most kite buggies are not fully enclosed like a land yacht and when you're learning the "ropes" accidents can and will hapen thats why i went away from bugies to land yachts (my old bones take longer to mend) a good quad (4) line kite which can be "depowered" quickly is best when learning i have found,,,,, go small first then move onto the bigger kites when you get better at it.........hope this is a help......

I don't think you will have nearly enough room on a football oval to be kiting, particularly if it is Toowoomba Grammar School.

Also, as schools are located in urban areas, you need to take into consideration the location of overhead power lines. You do not get second chances where they are concerned.

Further, I seriously doubt the school authorities would allow you to have a kite buggy at school.

If they do not allow skate boards, you have Buckley's chance of having a kite buggy.

I am sure the school will have more than enough activities going on to keep you from becoming bored.
