Unusual kiting contraption by ludwigsdiana

Unusual kiting contraption

seen at Blouberg. I have never seen one of these and suspect that it must be something new. There was a team that spent all morning doing videos and stills of this. Taken from the 8th floor balcony with the Tamron 18-400 which I gave back. I am still waiting for the 16-300 which is not available here atm.
A fabulous action image

Wow! Great capture.. new, unusual & different.

That is indeed an interesting one.....

Hello Diana, this is a recent invention, as you suspect, and it is called a wingfoil. (I am not a surfing expert at all but I met someone on the beach last year who had one of these). Here is an introductory video on this new product if you are interested :

How do the do it!!! I’ll stick to my boogie board 🤣

That's rather different, will have to ask my Teenager if he has ever met one.
April 26th, 2021  
wow how good must that feel!
April 26th, 2021  
"Foiling" is all the rage at the moment and there are good speeds gained on these things.

Great action shot. I live in an area that holds world championships for water sports and seen foiling but not seen a wing this shape before.

Awesome action shot! Interesting rig.

Well that's different! A great action shot.

Looks like if you have the athletic ability for it, it's a lot of fun. Me, I'd be crashing all day. Good catch!

April 27th, 2021  
Great capture. That's a neat looking sail with that one. I have seen a couple of them around here, but we just don't get the winds, most of the time.
April 27th, 2021  
Some new kind of toy. Looks fun.
April 27th, 2021  
@etienne thanks Etienne, we always get new products later that others. Will check out the link, she was shooting over the water at an incredible pace ;-)
@kipper1951 I was amazed at the speed, I thought she might have a battery. Blouberg has incredible strong wind which blows me off my feet :-)
@wakelys That's interesting Susan, so does Blouberg :-)
@pdulis She was so darn good Peter, I am sure it was not practicing only :-)
April 27th, 2021  
Interesting.
April 27th, 2021  
@etienne The video is a great demo of it in action.
April 27th, 2021  
Great pic and how interesting shape!
