2 LINE ?
No QR on the loop?
7m2 for 20kts but you need a 9 for 18? I have to change kites with 2 kt wind changes ?
I suppose you would only SUK in very low winds so would only need 1 kite ?? I think I would rather use a Speed to SUK so I wouldn't have to SUK NO
MO' when the wind got decent?

speaking from experience, turning a sup and keeping the a kite going is job. hard to turn!
farting around in a straight run is fun and can be quite fast. you still need decent wind.
although the kites look really fun , hauling those SUPs is a complete turn off. make the chicks carry it!
two line c-kites in todays market talk about small niche. about 2 years from now these things may come free with new kite purchase!
cool vid always nice to see the ladies going at it!

yeah I see a 2-line C to be about as useful as a screen door in a submarine (you know, to keep the fish out).

Lol. some funny replies. I thought they worked very hard to make that look fun. As good as those guys are at kiting it still looked like a lot of work
for little fun.
The ladies on the other hand, I could watch them for hours.

My buddy scored an old windsurfing board for $150 and it works great as a sup. That might be a used market to tap into for suping on the cheap..
