Foiling Kiteboard

Description:

Started with a little bit of speed board training, I was on my 12M and the wind was still building so I didn't get any great speeds but it was interesting to see the video of my tail. Check out the professionally designed Foiling Kite boards here. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

High Sailing Speed Boats
  • A sailboat or sailing boat is a boat propelled
    partly or entirely by sails. The generic term
    covers a variety of boats, larger than small
    vessels such as sailboards and smaller than
    sailing ships, but distinctions in the size are
    not strictly defined and what constitutes a
    sailing ship, sailboat, or a smaller vessel (such
    as a sailboard) varies by region and maritime
    culture.
  • At present, a great number of sailboat-types may
    be distinguished. Apart from size, sailboats may
    be distinguished by a hull configuration
    (monohull, catamaran, trimaran), keel type (full,
    fin, wing, centerboard etc.), purpose (sport,
    racing, cruising), number and configuration of
    masts, and sail plan. Although sailboat
    terminology has varied across history, many terms
    now have specific meanings in the context of
    modern yachting.

Professional Foiling Kiteboards
  • Kiteboarding is a surface water sport which
    includes the aspects of windsurfing, paragliding,
    surfing, wakeboarding, and paragliding, into one
    extreme sport.
  • A kiteboarder harnesses the power of the wind
    with a large controllable power kite to be
    propelled across the water on a kiteboard similar
    to a wakeboard or a small surfboard, with or
    without foot-straps or bindings.
  • The Kiteboarding is also known as kitesurfing
    or Landboarding or kite snowboarding.
  • The different styles of kiteboarding mainly
    include freestyle, free ride, down winders,
    course racing, wake style, jumping and
    wave-riding.
  • In 2012, the number of kite surfers has been
    estimated by the ISAF and IKA at 1.5 million
    persons worldwide. The global market is worth
    US250 million.
  • Starting in 1999, kitesurfing became a mainstream
    sport with the entry of key windsurfing
    manufacturers namely Naish and Neil Pryde. Single
    direction boards derived from windsurfing and
    surfing designs became the dominant form of
    kiteboard. From 2001 onwards, twin-tip
    bi-directional boards became more popular for
    most flat water riders, with directional boards
    still in use for surf conditions.

New Sailing Speed Record

New Speed Sailing Records
  • We all want to see Kite boarders take a new speed
    sailing record. We all know it's possible but we
    also know its going to take technology and
    development of our equipment.
  • For me I am looking to take all of the technology
    we use in Grand Prix sailing and trickle it down
    to speed sailing and kite boarding.
  • In the past I have reaped some serious benefits
    with my bar and line development and this year I
    am hoping to take it a bit further. But as always
    that takes a few all mighty dollars.
  • I have been fortunate enough to raise about 35
    of my proposed operating budget for the NASSC and
    I am hoping to raise the remaining budget in the
    next 50 days.
  • With that said please contact me if you are
    interested in coming on as a partner or if you
    know someone who might be interested. With the
    right team a new speed sailing record could be
    right around the corner.
