I have a proa sailboat in Miami and like to see if any of the mebers with BIG kites are willing to do some kiteboating? The proa (or outrigger) is 21 ft long and the akas are 8 ft up to the ama. I use two different rigs which are easy to take out and modify to attach a central line to the Kite handle bar.
For those of you who are not familiar with proas - you can google it to see some models
I think with the kite attached to the boat and somebdy working the kite with 4 lines we can see how fast his can go. I can do the steering. Depending on wind and size of kite we could add a third or fourth person
I launch in Key Biscayne in Hobbie Beach - send me an e-mail at carlosproacarlos@yahoo.com if you are interested
