Kite on Paddle, What to call it ?

[Sup-position]

The Innovations keep coming...

What to call this?

[juandoe]

Skimbat...oh wait, that's already taken.

It's a Slingy-Wingy.  They always do interesting stuff but never seem to break thru to the top tier of visibility. They don't seem to do a lot of that self-serving, aggro marketing that other companies in the same markets do.   When was the the last time someone mentioned their boards SUP here?

How about Paddle Winging

Hah, that's my old neighbor, Tony Logosz, owner of Slingshot. 

[Some Guy]

Reminds me of the Wing Weapon for some reason.

I always wanted to try one of those.

Do you inflate the kite before going out?  If so, how to you paddle?'
Does the kite inflate via CO2 once you're out on the water?  If so, it's a 'one-shot' deal?
Do we now need 2 leashes? (one for our board, and one for the paddle...)

[beached]

kind of an old idea....kites like that have been around /tried for a while, but don't do very well unless you've got 30+ mph winds...and then you've  other problems as above posts have mentioned. Slingshot used to be a big name in kite surfing, but really has fallen down a few rungs.

looks painfully disarming!

Reminds me of my windsurfing days when I wanted one of these...

Raw Power! 

I watched that video so much I wore out the VHS tape and the player. 

The urge to fly will never die although sometimes the pilots do.  Dean Potter and Graham Hunt trying to shoot the gap in Yosemite.
