This is the most awkward looking sport ever. I would be very surprised if this ever catches on. At least kite boarders and wind surfers would both have someone to laugh at. Not cool at all.

It seems me much harder than Windsurfing , and much more shaky .

So its 2600 dollars for everything and you need at least 15 mph wind? I can buy descent used jet ski for that price Or top of the line kitesurfing package. You would have way more interest if the price was at 1600.

just checked out the video on the site, seems like collecting the gear is the strenuous part, but at least u can't be catapulted. i've been reading things here and there from sailboard industry designers about some of the benefits of an angled or free flying wing. for the longest time i've assumed what most have; that the power wouldn't be adequate. seems not to be the case!

This looks ridiculous. I would not waste a dime on this product. Even the inventors/experts seem to struggle.
I sailboard, and i think this has potential. look at what having a vertical lift component does, big float on flat water. how do you get around the waterstart thing?

Still trying to crack that. Its all about coordinating the flying of the wing with the position of the board & body. I've had 3 or 4 goes so far on water and its not easy. Having said that, i'm sure its just needs a bit of practice in the right conditions.

In theory yes, but the WW75 has bouyancy so it floats when you drop it, and also its a lot bigger, so you get the power you need. I would guess that it would need to be VERY windy to get going with a 5.5, more so with a 4.8.

I have my board on an extending Kiteboard leash, so its not too far away when it all goes wrong.

You need over 15mph wind to get going. I've not cracked a waterstart yet!

Not really - you can use a harness, and its really easy to control.
