Blokart was invented in 1999 by New Zealander Paul Beckett. A background in hang gliding and land sailing inspired Paul to build a serious wind-powered toy that was fun, fast and compact.
From small beginnings tinkering in a Papamoa, NZ garage to over two decades of watching a backyard passion evolve into a global sport, the Blokart community now extends all over the world.
"Blokart continues to exceed our wildest expectations, connecting us with people we never expected who share our love of land sailing. For the recreational rider, Blokart has become a versatile pastime that allows them to sail wherever the wind takes them. For our competitive racers, Blokart provides a chance to meet other sailors and compete on a level playing field under our One Design rules. And for families looking for a weekend thrill, our range of accessories means everyone can get in on the fun.
We feel very fortunate to be part of this sailing revolution, and hope you join us—we know you'll enjoy the ride."
Cheers,
Paul, Matt & the Blokart team
