Good find BR, How long have they been around? Looks smaller and lighter and easier to use/manuever then the kitewing but looks like it's used as a sail and not as a "wing" which I'd guess would'nt be as fast or efficiant campared to the kitewing's foil design.
Good concept to get people into wind sports none the less.

Someone posted a link to these in the kitewing trhread earlier this week.

I don't know anything about them accept that the design is a good proven shape. They should work well on skaes and blades ?

It looks like they are $425 ?

Bit of an interesting "you get what you pay for exchange" going on here (unless these are shills):

Kitewings v$. Windskates(?)
