You can use Kitewing with your skis, snowboard, mountain board, ice skates or in-line skates. Many people think of it to be a mix of kite surfing and wind surfing. Well, the 4.8 sq. mtr. Kitewing IV8 Monofilm wing offers implausible acceleration and speed without compromising with handling and control. This scary piece of kit is the tool to make incredible jumps, tricks and great airtime. To my surprise, there is no limit to the amazing jumps and tricks performed by many keen riders. With 60+ mph and 5 m high, 40 m long jumps, you can easily think of the self-damage it can cause. But, the wing shaped kite is certainly going to allure experienced riders round the globe. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s easy to transport as it’s no bigger than a ski bag.
