If you are interested in para kiting, have a look at www.handikite.fr. He has developed a sit ski for snow kiting and a sit board for kite surfing.

i undertand that lots of people can get inspired when seeing someone over come lack of ability and still do things we love to do, and i will give a huge shout out to this young lady for her pursuit of happiness and belive me it feels so good to enjoy the wind ,kite and buggy.when i ride all of my disabilities seem to disapear and i even like to cruise by my wheelchair and maybe flip it over on my way by. the super heros hear are the friends and suport group of people that are always there to lend a helping hand and understand that they may have to do twice the set up and tear down everytime but dont even care just as long as they can spend time kiting with you. so thanks to all that help me and are always there. for sure i have to mention Scudley ,for all the time you have spent helping me and the great time we have kiting together ,you rock brother and i thank you . and now im off to Garry Point to enjoy some buggying and to enjoy the sunshine p.s. the wind is at 20 knts and full sunshine should be another awesome day :yes:
