Urban Kites MORE single skin

http://www.urbankites.de/

Alf Pointed this out on another thread. I translated the page and it looks like it could be another great single skin option. Kite only form 135-199 euro and offered in 2, 3, 4, and 5 meter sizes. Lines and handles can be purchased separately. Also, the site says they can be flown short line or long line.

Good find Iain. I tried to look for some more videos using longboard or landboard but didn't have any luck.

Wow, those guys made the single skins look fast! Great video!

For some reason I thought that single skins would not shine as high speed weapons but .....

I love how he takes that one guys wind out of his kite as he blows past him. I wonder how a single skin will react to the same treatment?
