Kitewinging!http://www.kitewing.com/wavewarrior/
Have I just had my head in the sand or have I just found the next hottest thing on water?!
The awesomeness is too much - I need to go lie down. 
Hey that's neat!
But a better idea,.. you could put a sort of carbon stick thing on the leading edge and mount that on the board with a flexible coupling. It wouod make it much more stable and you could really lean back on it then.
And you could call it ,.. ummm er,.. what could we call it?
I know,.. WINDSURFING. 
Hey a good idea or just a great idea?
Hey guys, hey bro. yeah thats me i sell the kitewings in W.A. as an independant distributor and I believe there should be a new forum created just for us kitewing nuts too :). unfortunately I have been told im not alowd to talk about kitewing sales on here so if you want more info or a promo dvd or a demo email me at southwestwa@hotmail.com
Hey green / wing I must admit the video on the site makes them look a bit kooky 
How do they stack up versus kiting / wind surfing?
What sort of sizes / wind ranges do you get on them?
And most importantly, would it be wrong to take one out on a SUP? 
<flame suit on>
theres soo many different ways people use kitewing around the world. The wave warrior 7.5m is in its infancy in australia. I dont know anyone other than myself in W.A. who has a wave warrior and board, (Is there anyone else out there with one too?) and I honestly have not mastered the use of it yet. My goal is to wave ride eventually. I have been using a rage 5.5m and a mountain board on land alot more than on water :)
Bring it on big ears,its nothing new, but if the boyz can boost it 70ft of da wave and land it consistantly,it might turn some heads..Good luck eyez wiv ya man
Id like to see someone ride jaws one day, if it's not mee :) First things first I think margs main break might be a good training ground to test it out.
This is my favourite vid of kitewing. All I can think of is Injidup Point and a sand board.
for what they are and the wind they require... too expensive
if you live in or near the snow... sooooo much better than snow kiting
but the wave warrior, sorry, its gayer than aids
Cool :). I'll certainly give it a crack (still to try kiting... one day, one day..). It will be interesting to see how this method progresses. Yes, it's early days. It will have it's progression jumps like windsurfing and kiting.
Has anybody thought of a nick name yet ? wingdings, wingnuts ? 
A 25 year old idea,but back then they had far more control and the wing was attached to the board.

It was called a wind weapon and it was possible to jump and fly in control.
With the all new wave warrior,it looks like you jump then dangle like a kiteboarder and the passenger is now the strings.Like in kiteboarding,which way you are facing when you float down is a lottery,but at least the kiteboarder can pretend to deliberately be doing some 360s
You are far better off windsurfing when windy and hanggliding when its not.
They compliment each other nicely and its far more fun being a rider/driver/pilot than being a dangling passenger
cross between windsurfing and rollerblading..need i say more!!! ghey
using them as a gliding wing off snow slopes does look sweet
Looks too cumbersome too expensive
A 3.5m ram air kite would give you more lift hang speed etc and cost less than half the price.
How would your arms be feeling after 3 or four hours on the water. Looks as restricting and gay as windsurfing.
