Green Hat just released this new control bar that claims to be able to teach someone how to kite in less than 30 minutes.

Interesting concept to learning (or not) the most important aspect in kiting (learning how to control and fly the kite).

If I were a student I sure would hope the instructor/controller of the remote control woke up on the right side of the bed.

"Sorry about that! I've almost got the bar/winch control calibrated just right. Until I do, make sure to point your toes next time I spend you Superman style into a water face-plant; more steazzy wipeout style points that way."

Interesting technology, but seems like a crutch to me.

A+ for innovation, follow through, and effort.

I'm not interested in learning. Can one of y'all just control my kite for me? I figure that's a lot easier...
