Yes. I didn't attach mine to the board but it was easier to rest it on the board. The original one was too small to power the SUP very well so I
made a larger one. It was rather awkward but worked fairly well. Still rather slow because it was pretty small as well - about 2M. It probably
worked better than kites of that size, however. This video shows the larger wing I made and shows how I held it by hands to turn. It folded up as
well.

the best for a street star would be a four lines kite controller ( wich allows the kite to depower )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEsNbfRqEl0

You can fly them so they are kites - not sails.

They are purely downwind sails, but they go off the wind quite well. My kayak has no rudder or fin, but I can sail 65 degrees off the wind using the
round sail. It is basically a parachute but the flexible round spar gives it a much higher l/d than a parachute. Flown as a kite it is not very easy
to control but I didn't try it for long - it was just an experiment.

Kites in a train have been used for a while with buggies at least. We had one guy with 3 stunt kites in a train pulling his buggy at Jibe a few years
ago. It is at about 1:35 on this video. I have never seen a train used with SUP though.
