If these gas-powered surfboards gain traction, there's the worrying possibility they will outnumber and replace the glorious kitesurfing/windsurfing
master race.
Mr. Clean Energy here hoping this will not be the case.
I don't see this as something that would have anything at all to do with taking over from people that love wind sports. No desire to replace the one
on one with wind and water and nature with a motor. Same reason I kite buggy and don't race around the desert or beach on an ATV, same reason I kite
ski or snowboard on a lake and not riding a snowmobile, kiteboarding and not riding a jet ski - nothing against them, just different.

I would love to try it .... but it will not provide same joy that you have when kiteboarding and getting big air .... also ... surfers will
never replace traditional board with this ... It just another toy ... thats all

Pricey too. The prices I've found were $12500 for the cheapest all the way to $19500 for a pro model. Could definitely have a nice kite quiver or two
for those prices.

nothing beats wind power.

but wind power will always be my first choise of power.
if there was a way i could buggy or land sail to work i would.
