Dual kite powered tandem buggy photos, videos?
True tandem kitebuggying...
I recall trying this with Luk Stanek way back (10 years ago) when I first took up kiting (with his assistance). It sure honed my kiting skills. 
Anyone know of any photos or videos of this activity at all? I have tried to find some online without any luck.
p.s. Anyone know if Luk is still around (kiting) too? Does he still attend NABX?

I'd call that a tandem. Like a tandem bike, there's two people on one machine. I'd say a duo-bug would involve taking two bugs and attaching one
behind the other.

yes, i agree.
but the tandem as in 1 buggy with another one without frontfork attached to the first
is what we call a tandem.

the duo-bug is the one in the movie and doesn't need futher explanation...
