In Response To: Go fly a kite... from a kayak??? (Malcolm Schweizer)

: Anybody tried it?

Hi,

I've tried all kinds of sails with my kayak here in Finland, from reinforced umbrellas to three line kite with steering bar, as in the pictures. Kiteyaking is easy when sailing down wind, but side wind is wery tuff and outriggers are must. If the wind is strong enough (over 14m/second) you can pull you and your kayak in the air. I've done it.

Best regards,
Klas - the kiteyaker
