Many refer to this unique form of beach transportation as karting or Blokart Sailing. As the wind blows in off the ocean along Orewa Beach on the North Island of New Zealand, it creates the perfect conditions for this exciting sport.
Exploring Orewa Beach while karting has become a popular activity for visitors to New Zealand as it is something which is fairly easy and can be enjoyed by the entire family. A helmet, gloves and eye protection are the three pieces of safety equipment needed for Blokart Sailing and a steady wind. The stronger the wind blows along Orewa Beach, the faster the kart will travel as the operator steers with one hand and holds the sheet rope with the other.
Orewa Beach is one of the best places for karting while on the North Island but many people are seen practicing in car parks, recreation areas or sailing around tracks.
