I couldn't get to the beach this morning, BWD gave me an idea and luckily an adjacent driveway wasn't cleared yet. and I had some old gear kicking around. Here's the resulting video.

Definitely Golden Helmet worthy. Extra funny 'cause it was in the neighbour's driveway. I guess that's why they have fences.

This is an other example of why windsurfing is WAY cooler than kitting, if you tried this with a kit in no wind it wouldn't fly, it would just look stupid.

A quad is the way to go.

Here's an idea. Ditch the sail. You could call it .... um .... snowboarding!
I wish my TOW was longer!
