Is it just me or does that not seem very safe? 8O ha ha! Reminds me of one of those old ski-seats Daniel and I tried behind the Dyne before. What a mess!
One of the MinAqua Bats, who is now an Alumni and whose name also happens to be Tim, woke up in the Howard Young Medical Center Intensive Care ward as he had crashed and was therefore unable to see the logic of using the Kite as designed and Produced. He was airborne and working over the crowd when a strong gust upset his delicate aerodynamics and piled him into the boat storage area to the east of the Aqua Bowl towards Bosacki's. I can't say if the Kite is still a museum piece up there or not. If you look at the ebay auction for the Ken Tibado Kite and scroll down to the comment section, there is another Kite aficionado who gets his pull from a Hydrodyne, the standard boat of the water skier, or words to that effect.
