Looks like some sort of submerged boat in the water to act as an anchor? Yikes.
Interesting... I wonder how you steer the anchor bit? I mean it doesn't really matter if the 'upwind efficiency is amazing' if you want to go downwind!
What the?!?!?!
Can you steer the submerged boat bit?
As we know tethering never ends well...
Remember the first kite-ski's - the triangluar, rigid framed kites used...took only 13 more years to get what we have now. This looks fun but lame, but it is the start on what we all know will come... sooner than later.
Wow! Real innovation. I agree with Eppo - it looks lame now but this is a major new idea: using tension rather than compression to connect to the source of lateral resistance. This will surely lead to new ideas that are at this stage completely unpredictable.
Still, I'll offer some starters: Think of it like one kite in the air and another in the water. You could equally somehow put the air-kite on autopilot, turn the kiter around and have control lines attached to the anchor-foil thing. Or make it a two-person "vessel" with one person controlling each foil.
When I despair of humanity's capacity for destruction I get some solace from knowing that we've yet to really do more than scratch the surface of our creative potentials.
I dunno, paragliding or kiteboarding, pick one or the other; looks like too much of a compromise of both to be any long term fun.
love to see it in action in 40 odd knots... so much carnage
Always good to see innovation of the sorts
The inventor (Stephane) is into all sort of stuff .. checkout his other projects.

I heard Alex Sanz and Kitesports has exclusive rights to import this product into Australia 
Hello all,
thanks for the comments,
I will try to answer all the question about the seaglider
for now, Seaglider is a concept that we try to developp, it s not yet for sale, but hope to sell it soon !
Sorry about my English, I m a French frog..hihi
We might some more news on www.seaglider.fr as soon as possible ( next month I hope with some new tries
stephane
it went really well with the 16m lift and 10m of rope with a sand anchor.......
went well until i got out in the deep water >10m
i need a quick release on the anchor rope though....
If you after hang time, get a hang glider. Outside of controlled airspace you can get to 10,000' and the x-c flight record in Australia is around 500+ km's. Only a personal thought.
Sorry to burst the bubble - but what an absolute load of Crap !!
Im seein it for what it is and it does not inspire me to want to get a tiny bit of air with restricted freedom by being tethered to a drag anchor..
if you want airtime go Paragliding
if you want to kitesurf and trick/megaloop/surf go kitesurfing
Adrenalin junkies we are - and being restricted in flight just doesnt cut in in my book
The water jet pack is the buzz if you really lookin for a drag anchor
Back to the drawing board dude 
@ Whales - give the guy a break. It does look fun, and wouldn't it be cool to have more airtime while your kiting?
Although you are right it doesn't make much sense to have an anchor, but then again Suping doesn't make much sense or Land Suping? What is that about? But people still do it.
Also Whales - Jet Packing would be awesome. Why can't we buy those yet?
Bwaa haa haa - its all funny as 
if you want more air time - move to W.A
and sorry in advance to all those swimmers speared by anchors of the same kiters who charge thru marked swim areas allready 
Brilliant stuff Mate
Its people like you pushing their ideas and innovations that invented all these great sports in the first place.
There are always a few narrowminded people out there to knock every new itea. Just because its not your idea of fun doesnt mean its not a good thing or may lead to something else good.
When the first kites came out windsurfers laughed them off the beach, now look-
Keep up the good work mate
Interesting, I'd like to know if they could make the anchor thing a lot thing smaller and still function though, and how does it go in a swell / waves ?
looks brilliant to me!!!!!!!!!
LMFAO
keep experimenting with it and god knows where it will lead you in the future.
how long can you make that leash?
looks like a brilliant bit of fun on light wind days
:/
