K2 Kiteboat - High Speed Foiling in Rough Water
zhlédnutí 32KPřed 7 lety
In 2015, Kai Concepts switched from a J-shaped foil to a T-shaped foil. The T-foils required some calibration, but now that we've got them dialed in, boy do they work. Kite helm: Don Montague. Boat helm: Joe Brock. Boat Crew: Adam Hill. Drone: Peter Trow. GoPros/Chaseboat: Betsy Pfeiffer, Margueritte Peterson, Paul Stanek. Video edit: Max Schwartz.

Yes it can turn! Usually the team tows the K2 kiteboat back to the dock with a support boat. The purpose of this test was to prove that the K2 crew have sufficient control to kite back to the dock without aid, even in very light wind. Kite helm: Don Montague. Boat helm: Joe Brock. Boat crew: Greg Hodges. Chaseboat drivers: Erin Pierce, Max Kimberley-Bryant. Filming: Peter Trow, Betsy Pfeiffer. ...

So happy to see this. Kites can definitely be the future to sailing and renewable energy, In the past ten years I've been developing winches made specifically for kite power. We solved the line twist problem and made a winch that can pull infinite kite loops.. thats a lot of power
Nice molds. Do they still exist? Wondering if I could pull a sleek hull from them…
if anyone need electric surfboard or gas surfboard, please feel free to contact me.
So cool at start, and so funny at the end!
За кайтом будущее
🤯 wow! I completely forgot about this song!
Curious about the spring action on the side foils..I wish I could see how they are mounted like that.
Great speed
I’m building my kite Trifoil we now
what is a kite trifoil?
@@ressanopapanoa a trimaran boat. 6 Mt long x4.6 wide . It uses a 15 Mt kite as propulsion
Another rich people toy
Did this things ever get made?
In France, we have this, less than 6 000 Dollars....czcams.com/video/WHaFSWAQT6k/video.html
I bought a used windsurfer and kite sail with board plus an old center counsel skiff with motor and still saved 4k.
Navy pilots pay attention. How do you think a kite similar to this concept would work packed neatly in the seat pan of your ejection seat holding your raft. Its just another option to move you to safety or closer to rescue. Make it happen gentlemen this concept can be adapted to save your life.
A three or four meter water relaunchable learning kite = $350 + could pack small enough to be the real deal here. It's all off the shelf stuff too, no need to get too technical over it just add a third line or a couple extra for attaching to a boat harness. Kiting is so great now with safety upgrades in the equipment. Old kites would work. The HQ4 Hydra would be perfect... You don't have to pump it up ... Aloha ~
But how high can the boat jump? :-D
Класс!
....meh........
You guys are having too much fun. How do you get your funding?
Beautiful solutions💨
I'm a pilot so I look at this and want to be in the air where it's smooth and drag a foil through the water. I'd like to see it done.
I guess that if I wait long enough then someone else does all of the cool things I dream up. I sure wish I had money!
It is not that expensive to start
I can see this if all you have is an outrigger canoe and a parasail but it has to be the most complicated and potentially dangerous way to use the wind for propulsion.
It is safe enough
Nice fishing rig
How long does it take with one full batttery trip?
What a fantastic video! Wow, I can feel the lost life blood surging through me, thank god for people like you. Love from London UK.
Где тётки в купвльниках?
Pure awesomeness. The music is jaw-freakin'-dropping
Freaking awesome video
Most annoying soundtrack ever
I NEED this for my boat!!!!
Its been four years but we've been developing a universal winch that can fly a kite off your boat.. It can also produce power at anchor
I've got a better design if anyone is interested... truthmonger6 at the gmail place
I want!
how fast are they?
Ахуетительная хуйня
There goes the old equation of speed relative to hull size out the window
The smaller craft run like a scalded dog under kite power. Can speed be managed to get a lower speed should it be needed? Or is it totally a matter of size of kite relative to boat and wind speed and direction?
Depower the Kite/Change down a size or two/Keep kite more towards edge of window/Don't 'fly it' as much ie..more of a fixed position as opposed to moving it to generate lift.
MDF or High density foam?
Fuckkk How it's working???
get a boat ..cheaper ..
No floating vests on the kids ???
Their website is the most frustrating thing there is, obviously we all go there to now about the board and explorer the possibility of buying, and even though it has great videos and fotos, there is absolutely no info on the board, specs, what stage they’re in, when is it expected or price, its practically useless because you’ll just find the same videos you have watched here on youtube
Because: "Thank you everyone for your interest and encouragement! We are currently still prototyping and will make an announcement when we have boards available to sell."
@@WishingForSerenity 3 yrears later... is this board ever coming out??
wowww
slow and doesn't appear to turn....
sweet, save resources, cleaner for the environment
Everything was perfect then they had to throw in wana start rapping and enoying beat
Beware of the great white JAWS shark it thinks you are a seal
Too slow!
Any news on release dates? We are testing all jetboards on our channel
nice !
How much does it cost one of these ?
