Now there is 6!
Kauli has been working on yet another design that will see the twin fin and quad fin in the bargain bin by the end of the year.

the image is legit.

it shows the latest kitesurfing directional boards. in recent times the kite guys have made huge leaps forward with their design improvements.

i am told the next run of advancements include new shapes for kites and lines.

kites seem to be getting better stability by the introduction of battens and twisting trailing edges while the lines are starting to be replaced with fixed spars that are connected to the boards with multi directional joints.

it's exciting to see kiting evolving into something pure

If we move fast, we can make a killing! I have a new invention called a "control boom" which is a metal (or carbon) bar that wraps around both sides of the kite, and is fixed to the tubular carbon "leading edge"...

...anyone wanna invest?

you could use the left over lines to tie the control boom to the carbon leading edge. nice one willie!
