I haven't seen it yet, just ordered it myself so I'm not recommending it, just letting y'all know. The video was free, but s&h was $8.74, so it's psedo-free ;)

Much better than kiting :-) Sorta.

kiting blah blah blah.....

Not really my thing, and I prefer the windsurfing vibe; if I kited here in Thailand, I could sail maybe 1/4 the number of days I do now.... and the launch sites are mostly full of trees so the kiters always need help.... I like just getting my gear and going; takes about 3 min to downhaul, carry and go; and same amount of time to pack up; kiting is a bit more.

That said... these new blade kites look cool; I heard they will make all the previous kites obsolete and should mean kiting can hit 50 knots really soon.

Would be fun in the snow though... like the idea of riding my snowboard :-)
