Which got me thinking, what about the kite? Which got me thinking, Lawrence Hargreaves stacked kites to loft himself all those years ago. So did that Cody bloke in the USA. So do lots of stunt kite owners. So why don't you ever see a couple of trainer kites stacked together for more pull? Lots of speed, lots of pull. Food for thought [}:)]
i have seen a bloke kite with 2 foils, one on top of the other, about 5 metres in between them. it only looked slightly more stupid than kiting with one foil.
Used to stack my 18 and 13 mtr g arcs a couple of years ago. pulled like a 14 year old, but not great to windward. Tony Evans (stickerman)kited the length of Mooroochy beach with 4 s arcs stacked,around 30mtrs!.It was filmed and submited to the Guinness book of records.But as we did not arrange for a official observer the claim was not reconised.As far as I know there is no record for stacked kites on the water (kite boarding)so any square metreage of stacked kites could claim.
