Somehow, I don't think it will really take off...

At least it's purpose built, not like Hamish McDonald's little episode.

Credit for coming up with something new. I guess thats how all new sport get discovered, some of the early kiting stuff with the massive bars etc.. looks pretty stupid, but things can come a long way from their inception.
This however I'm not so sure. It looks like it could be fun for a novelty day. But it still cost over 100bucks to fill the boat, drive to the river ( petrol in the car ) fill the fat sacks, inflate the kite and then argue over who's going first.

Just kite without the boat, then its everyones turn all the time better karma

the funny thing is, that in the mid 90's on windsurfing trips to hawaii, i know i used to laugh and shake my head at that funny sport "kitesurfing" with crazy guys who couldn't stay upwind and spent hours swimming!

does anyone know how many years of returning to maui it took before i saw lou starting to actually jump!!!

don't bag new offshoots, that wake kite thing i'm sure wiil be huge in the future.

i'm saving for a new boat! no wind yee haaaa!

Being gay isn't even as kooky as that looks.

looks pretty damn boring - no spinning bar means no rolls or any rotations.
There seems to be quick release from the boat so that when you let go of the bar, the kite gets released - if there's some wind it could easily blow away.

May be useful in learning the basics of jumping on a wakeboard but certainly doesn't extend the sport much at all.

Really had me laughing, looking at it again . if they were not jumping you could actually believe it was purpose built for either one of those purposes
Great work fellas keep up the good humour.

Looks like the kite slows him down more then it lifts
