I have seen several videos with that kite/paraglider flysurfer is supposedly making.

Who knows exactly how a regular paraglider turns? I have been searching but haven't found anything specific yet. All I found was this helpful FAQ

Same was as our F.B. foils do I think - wing warping and dragging an edge basically.
Love those vids!

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

I enjoy those videos too. I also have a 19m, so naturally think about what can be done with it.

However, that FlyingCloClo dude always seems to have the perfect spot and perfect wind. And I know how sensitive that kite can be! Just not easy to find those conditions around here AND it's not something I'd be willing to attempt without some coaching.

Hmm, perhaps I'll have to start stalking the guy. That'd be a first!
