My bad. I dug back, but obviously not far enough.

If anyone wants to delete my post (I don't think I can?) go for it.

Otherwise, if you all prefer, I can edit my original and replace it with the Eric Eck video......

I hadn't seen that before either. That has got to be the first convincing ultra light wind video I have seen. Not the normal dubious claims with a video of a jockey riding really close to shore with whitecaps further out in offshore wind... Nice!

Might be a dumb Quest but is it just the ram air kites that make it possible to use in such light wind?

They're lighter in the air and they produce more power per square meter because they are flatter. They also have a 21m which would be incomparable to anything you'd find in a LEI.
