Sorry Dude!
But Penguin posted this about a year/ and a half ago, maybe two.
It is a good little sim.
There is another kiting game out there, where you have to jump over sharks and logs.
Can't remember where it is though. I'm sure if you look for it you'd find it.

You know they sell trainers at Ocean Rodeo. Foils, and LEI's.

There is also a toy store in Market Square. They sell two line foil kites there, in different sizes, and prices.
They don't have the pull that a real trainer does, and they fly a little different.
But they're a little cheaper, and you can still learn the basics.
As well as letting your girlfriend or kid try it.
Good luck. 8)

i missed my old trainer kite so i got one of those toy store foils last summer- its great! i made a control bar out of a chunk of hockey stick and even put a harness loop on there. A total beginner can learn a lot from one, plus you get the thrill of detangling 2 lines, an important skill before you move up to 4!

Yeh, real great.

Dag nabbit. No MAC specs.

Someone will have to invite me over to play it on their PC.

I'm stuck playing the HB pro kitsurfing game....
