Question Indoor?

I believe this is Europe. Wouldn't it been kind of cool to one day we could have a our huge indoor kiteboarding arena?

I know money wise not feasible now but perhaps in 50 years?

Just dreaming....

The indoor windsurfing kicked ass!
We would need at least a stadium for kiting.

Talking Indoor!

I saw a clip of short lined kite in the same type of arena. There wasn't much to see other then the poor guy getting hauled through a couple of people.ops: ops:

I think it would actually be pretty cool to be able to kite in an arena, at least 120x50 yard riding surface to use, probably could be made much larger than that. It would be fine for a competition and only a few riders on the water at once in my opinion and would be pretty fun too! Would be safer as well because nets could be put up in front of spectators in the event of kitemares or runaway kites...
