Really, who thought this was a good idea?? 2-line, no depower, 17m kite on a SUP.

...and for 2012, they can shrink the boards down to 7-8 feet, put three footstraps on them and advance the sport to where it was 15 years ago.

A 12m kite works well with a SUP and this is the only setup where I can actually jibe a surfboard.

I bet that when you get back from Maui you will school all of us on your jibes.

If the wind is not quite enough, I could pull him with my boat. We could be on to something big!
