Gonna try making an 8 meter NASA parawing type kite out of thin polytarp tomorrow. My area is super calm this time of year but it looks like this design will go up in only 1-2 knots of wind. My hope is that higher up wind will be stable and strong enough to at least pull me along in my kayak. The rigging system for it is pretty interesting to think about as well.
