: Hi! I read about using a 7.5 parafoil kite as a means of power for running
: downwind. As I use my kayak in the ocean this sounds interesting. Has
: anyone tried this, and, if so, offer any advice?

: Thanks!

I have done this a lot and it is a blast. My only advice is do not tie it off to your boat or if you upset you might see your boat still sailing without you. I usually put the circular plastic string rewind thingie over my bicep so I still have two hands free for the paddle. A rudder helps a lot...
