Kite boating anyone? Huge 50m LEI

Anybody else already see this? I was browsing around on youtube and came across a video of a 50m LEI kite being used to power an outrigger canoe. Pretty impressive.

If the link doesn't work, just search youtube for "Huge 50m Kite"

Shows how much I pay attention, lol. I thought I was being humorous with the "kite boating" comment and low and behold there's a whole section on the forum about it.
