the problem with kites is that when too many people get them, the danger/mess potential goes up a lot faster than with traditional sailboards.
for average people, this is an excellent compromise between convenience and performance. especially with the range of applications his wing-sail has (sailboards, canoes, boats)
you and i both know we'll dread the day when everyone and their brother show up at the local sailing spot trying to launch an 11m kite with 40m lines.
