I don't have any experience with kiteng yet but I have ingenious idea for windsurfers in nearest future.
Suppose somebody ( could be even Windsurfer as kiters seem not that bright) will invent self flying kite at pre - programmed angle to the wind.
Such self flying and pulling kite could be than attached to the mast base for constant boost to the windsurfer effort.
At turns kite also change direction to the wind automatically.
Small size kite - similar to the training one should add nice boost to the wind-sailor in light wind conditions ( as in stronger winds we don't need any booster at all).
Doesn't the mast base transfer the power of the sail to the board, (ie guy cribb downforce tutorial) and if you attached a kite to the base then it would mean less power?
.
You would need a tandem windsurfer with somebody at the front controlling the kite......... If the boat below had a sail, wouldn't the kite constantly depower the sail and make the sail defunct?
on one simple rope.
Honestly you have put some pretty absurd things up here in recent times, but this may take the cake.
Ingenious, no... Ridiculous, yes.
You seem to continually jump on here suggesting ways to "improve" windsurfing. Well after being a windsurfer for over 25 years I think it is good just the way it is. Maybe if you can't see that it simply isn't the sport for you?
