Are Paraski Flex kites. They are not unmanagable. Certainly not the most manageable, and not the most popular-for sure. But they are well suited for
snow and ice and lots of fun. Big around Canada's east region(Quebec).
You see a few cruising away and a few struggling. The latter are the newbies. A single skin with a carbon rod leading edge(as opposed to an LEI single
skin's INFLATABLE leading edge) . Also similar to a Peter Lynn C-Quad kite.
Side note: Advantage of non-foil, single skin kites in snow? You dont have to deal with getting snow inside the cell of
foil kites to weigh it down..having to shake it out.
Man that was a great video. No BS just really good riding and wicked good vibe! Looked a lot like the fields around Montreal and upper Champlain
Valley?
We were discussing in another thread the Para Skis. A kite is a sail on a on lines away from the sailor right? I've seen what skilled Para Ski
riders can do and it's pretty amazing. The things are fast, lifty and if things get out of hand you just lay 'em down and absolutey zero power. Some
of the high AR race styles are so razor thin I can't believe they can fly.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the vid Kober. It's refeshing to see a bunch of riders just out playing, riding and having a good time.

If ever there was a kite that tried to be a one kite quiver it was the ParaSki Flex(the new line has changed a bit).
I know about these because it was my first kite and used on ice and snow.
My F05-30 model had a zipper that could change kite size and had 4 different 'manipulations'/ modes to fly it.... including folded 'taco'
style pictured below!:o
A range of 5-38mph!
A brief thread hijack until Kober finds another video to add more stoke...!.......: MORE VIDEOS, PLEASE!

I don't have the tech savy to post a vid for some reason but here's a like to something I through up on the tube today. Just some footage of a few
of us playing around last season.

Feyd..I like this last video here the best as well, it leaves me wondering why we have such a slow start to the season...as I am ready to get out on
the big wide open lakes and just cruis around draggin fingers in the snow.....soaking in the sun under the tension of the kites pull....oh man not
soon enough!
Great Video... I loves me some "ButtHole Suifers".. I'm liking more of their vinyl stuff however My buddies band did a great "BBQ Pope" back in the
day!
