Thats a real shame, quite gutted about that. It looks a very interesting alternative to the boarding side of things. Guess its not the right time just yet?
Thanks for all your help in this, love the video...makes me want one. I have got in touch with a guy in the UK who owns one, and might know another owner who might sell his....so fingers crossed:)
Hmm, tried a UK shop...no can do, they dont sell them anymore...waiting for a reply from another shop at the moment...wonder if this craft is still available? looks a lot of fun
How long have you had your cat for? or rather how much time on the water have you got so far? heard of a breakage/failure on a hull of one of these...but like all things there can be teething problems...so its pointless dismissing the idea of getting one...just need to know of any issues. Guess the upwind speed is better than something like a Hobie 16?
@robraver it's not mine, it belongs to the PeterLynnKites company, I just took it for a spin I haven't done much yachting so I wouldn't know about the Hobie 16, it doesn't fly a hull like a catamaran does.. It can be a bony thing to climb into.. I've also rolled one in surf, scary, but it didn't break..
I still want one, bloody shame they are not still around for sale.

@robraver better upwind angle than a kitesurfer, similar to a kitebuggy I guess... I'll see if I can find the GPS track
