In Response To: Re: Go fly a kite... from a kayak??? (Rick Allnutt)

Thanks,

That's a good kite, even if not for kayaking I might go ahead and order one. I think the problem with kiting a kayak would be the kayak wanting to roll when the kite pulls from an angle. I'm hoping I can run into someone locally that owns a kite and would let me try it just once.

I remember in one of the Eco Challenge races a guy used a kite to tow a canoe, but it seems like that had an outrigger. I can't remember. It went like a scalded dog.

In the event that I am able to try it I will post my results... if I live to do so.

-Malcolm
