Although you will need allot of wind to jump with that kite. The Sky-dancer a duel line stunt kite right? Its not designed for traction or lift whatsoever.

Link to someone selling one

Note that the pics at the bottom of the page are not of the Skydancer, two pics are of LEIs and one is a NPW the other two are of foils but I'm not sure what ones.
