Anybody tried it yet? I am curious to hear how it went.
I see them doing it in this promo video:
There could definitely be some advantages to combining the two sports especially with one or more of these situations:
- Extended riding time/range if you can use less of your battery power
- On light wind days when a little artificially generated apparent wind could help you keep your kite up during the lulls
- Make self rescuing a heck of a lot easier
- Less anxiety and safer on offshore wind days
- Perhaps, flatten the steep learning curve when foiling with a kite? I am not sure since I learned to kite and foil separately
I would think with the right folding prop this could work pretty well. I am excited to try it when I get my build finished and reliably working.
