Has anybody seen this? 50M Naish kite

This is pretty neat. It's a 50M kite hooked up to a canoe. Looks pretty wild. I think the kite is by Naish. Apparently, they also have a 100M. Crazy! I think that the guy in the back is trying to help steer with an oar. Not sure if its working for him though-

I can't imagine what he has in his quiver!

Yeah, that thing is wild! I posted about it a month ago, got moved to the kite boating section of the forum. The video I linked actually had the guy talking about the kite, he says..."yeah, 100 meter, 200 meter, no problem." Can you imagine 100 and 200 meter LEI's?

Can't remember his name but at the Scheveningen (Holland) kitefestival a guy actually was kitesurfing with the 50m Synergy.
The kite was developed for the technical University of Delft, to generate wind-power.
