Wind and Kite surfing are major sports on the Norfolk coast.  Whether you are just being dragged along the sand by the kite (intentionally or by accident) or surfing and buggying.  Kite surfing and kiting can be done most places, with Brancaster and Hunstanton beaches being very popular.  Kite buggying is a little less popular with the authorities, but there are some excellent locations for it, like the West end of Brancaster beach.
