The Kitewing: A Handheld Sail
By Action Isle • Aug 1st, 2007 • Category: Everything ElseThe Kitewing is a handheld sail that has opened the door to many possibilities. It is like wind surfing, except the sail is completely unattached to anything and is handheld. A Kitewing can be used in any season, summer, winter, whenever.
You can use a Kitewing with a mountainboard, inline skates, dirtsurfer, longboard, whatever you want. Don't worry about it snowing because the fun doesn't ever stop. Use the Kitewing with a snowboard, skiis, or go on a frozen lake with ice skates.
With a Kitewing you can get going pretty fast and get some nice air. This is what they say on the Kitewing web site
"Speeds up to 100 km/h (62 mp/h) and 5 m high, 40 m long jumps on flat surface are not unusual."
5 meters is roughly 16 feet, and 40 meters is roughly 131 feet!
Here is a video of the Kitewing in action...

Theres nothing cooler than gliding with a kitewing. I’ve owned mine for at least a year now, I only wish I lived somewhere like the places they have in the video so I could really experience a solid kitewing session.
