Ah the Wind Weapon! A proper specialized piece of adrenaline junky kit. I never got good enough or had the money for one, but it was a great design. Those were the days. B¬)

wordreet: WR I'm so with you. These were late 1980's if memory serves me right and I really wanted one but I think they were £500+ in UK money even then. So I "think" I had the skill then but certainly not the money. A certain Mr Naish has a similar soft wing style now being touted in the late 2010’s. Specifically 2019 some 30 years further on. I took up hang gliding in the 90's and realised that I had a body weight that was not conducive to slow manageable landings... I now drive powerboats, so much easier 🤓

Macgruder was ahead of his time. I hope he's prospered somehow.

Is anyone still flying(?) with this sail? I would love to try it...

definitely gona make one of these! these are focking awesomme!=D why dont you see them these days anymore? maybe the kitewing, but these are imo easier to handle and more comfortable to use! they should make a version where you can attach the wing back to the boom again to make it easier to gain some speed and use more surface m^2, they could make a mechanism that changes shape depending on the wing angle. (normal surfsail when putting it sideways and wing shape when wanting to fly the air!

It's never going to catch on without a mast or harness. Having to do a flexed arm hang the whole time is just too tiring. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbKBeaqFrNWUeIk.html&feature=share

Actually there was a a guy about this time, around 89 or 90, in Hood River who was using stacked kites and water skis. That was the first time I ever saw any kind of kiting. It was pretty amazing, but if you crashed you swam. No such thing as relaunch. Someone here may know the guys name, I know some of the old timer gorge guys knew him.

Corey Roesler was his name. When I raced the Blowout in those years he was there shredding downwing on his waterskis. He took his show to Maui and the sport progressed from there.
