"and a control system for automated operation."

Who ever could come up with a small version of this for us kite surfers, will be rich over night.

... maybe but where is the fun in that???

^ that would suck having that attached to my spreader bar......

Geesus you lot have closed little ocean clocked minds!

Imagine it. You could direct yourself manually and then switch on auto. You could be free to do all sorts of tricks knowing your kite is not stalling or anything. How about trully letting go of the bar and not this one hand to the other - switcher-oo!?

Or how about having both hands free to jerk youselves when ever you want out at sea!? Sex anyone!?

Surely it has some potential.

The only thing I could imagine this being good for is letting go of the bar completely, surfing a wave and then grabbing the bar again to tow you back out... Eco Jetski.

I was flying hands free today. .... . .
