 Mon Aug 18, 08 3:34 pm When Kite Meets Water Skis |

Interesting article from back in the day:

On going upwind:
| Quote: | "And of course you need a friend in a power boat to follow you across the water and bring you back upwind.
That's not so bad," says Navarro. "After all, when you go snow skiing, someone has to take you back up the slope. When you go bowling, you aren't expected to walk down and carry the ball back. It will become an expected part of the sport." That seems reasonable; using a follow boat is not only safer, it allows you to spend more time skiing and less time walking." |

| Quote: | | Navarro recommends two 10-foot Flexifoils for strong winds and three 10-footers for lighter air. Although you can combine six and ten footers, he doesn't believe they perform as well. And he thinks that 16-footers are too slow. |
some of those pics in the photo gallery are rad!
