That is boring. He is getting towed by a Boat. Just like Parasailing or that other weak boat kite tow thing.

Is it really a boat he's tethered to, or just some kind of sea-anchor?

I think it might be amusing to try once, but I'd rather kite untethered.

Looks a little out of control. Be entertaining when you hit shallow water!

Not a boat. It is a foil that creates drag so that he doesn't completely fly off. It is an accident waiting to happen. Once the foil is pulled out of the water, that guy could be in pretty serious trouble.

I think Redman will be stoked on this new invention. Its like being able to tie off to anything. Looks pretty sketchy to me.

When I first got into kiting I was thinking about something like that... so kooky though.

Honestly the tether kiting guy (Carl) looks like he's having more fun since he hauls ass across the water with the giant rope (just need a good place to tether to....)
