   that’s a really good question, it seems like a lot of fun, but i
   never looked into what it’s called or where you can buy such a
   thing. after a bit of searching on google, i found these sites:

   finland (original manufacturer): http://www.skywings.fi/
   canada sales: http://www.dirtsurfer.ca/en/productskitewing.asp
   USA sales: http://www.superdairyboy.com/recreational%20Items/SkimBat.html
   UK sales: http://www.powerkite.co.uk/kitewing.html
   general wind sport info: http://www.windsports.net/

   apparently it’s called a “kitewing” or “wingsail” and “skimbat”
   seems to be the main manufacturer. if you end up getting one,
   i’d be interested in knowing how well it works!

   hope that helps!
