Kitebar with a reel on it eh? Now that's a way-back idea...nice to see this newest revision of the kite-scooter, I think it's very interesting!

Cool idea but it looks like a male reproductive organ..to put it politely.

Build one and bring it down Pete!! I'll try anything once...LOL

On the reel one, noticed he took off the third brake line and is flying it two line.

He also has no keel on that kayak so I have wonder how he would be able to get back upwind.

Looks like Powerzone might have had his hands on that kite.

I was able to test drive the kite kayak last summer and stay upwind with a HQ-Hydra and reel strapped to the boat, required a keel and working the rudder a bit.

In case anyone is interested - the Kite bar project has now been funded, but I think one can still pledge to get the rewards package (lower prices on the kite bar and or/ Hydra kite package.) Of course, there is the risk it won't come to completion, though the developer has done 5 other projects.
