Was waiting for this for years.. The shape of a foil kite and relaunch of the inflatable. Foil/SLE hybrid. Technology will take a few years, but this is a way to do for foiling.. One foil board, one kite like this and weight of everything together 10kg.

Great concept. What is the weight of the kite? How low wind can it fly?

Bruno, can you get a better camera for your videos please? :-)

Would be very interesting for foiling..

Ah, finally !!!
Exactly what I need for speed. :D
My prediction: In future races this concept will outperform all these complicated high-AR-ram-air-kites (bridle-nightmare !) by miles.
And you will need only half the AR. Just 3.0 AR would be enough because the small diameters have way less drag.
Very important: You don´t have to depower anymore in gusts as it cuts through it like a knife. Very comfortable.

This my own concept: A very thin kite, shaped like the wing of a plane.
Made of polystyrene and tape with an AR of 3.0: https://vimeo.com/298654505
