Interesting. The kite is totally a late 1990s design and looks a lot like what SpectraSport were making in those days only much bigger. Not sure how
those carbon (I'm assuming) rods would do if the kite were smashed into frozen or solid ground and depending upon how flat that sail is relaunching
could be quite the trick and dead launching is likely out.
Would be cool to cascade or half axel the kite through your redirects and pop it into a fade on a downwinder.

The Kiteski was originally developed by Cory Roeseler (Oregon) in 1986.
The C-Quad was probably a bit more famous, and both can be seen in the video below.
You can also see the kite being directly deployed (reeled out) from the spool of kite line attached to the bar and apparently you could use the spool
to choose how long you wanted the flying line to be.
In 1995, long before Audi was using the Level One Thor's Hammer in there Audi ads, the Kiteski was being used in ads for the Toyota Tacoma. You can
view the Toyota ad in post #3 here: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=48717

Square brackets and the video id number...
Take a look at this youtube link, copied from the address bar...
just pulled out my smaller Banshee Scimitar to fly it at a kite fest this spring. It soon brought back memories trying to push the curved rod into the
leading edge sleeve etc.
Nice piece of surf history there for sure - they were selling the set up for 2,000.00 when it came out and a friend wanted it but bought the original
PL buggy with the spoke wheels instead because he couldn't afford the KiteSki (early 90's)
