I believe I own one that I bought in the UK many years ago. It is a parafoil stunt kite, 6 feet by maybe 3 feet with a fiberglass rod in the leading edge. It uses two cords tied to either end of a broom handle sized pole. It can be easily maneuvered to any angle up to 180 degrees and in a strong wind, has an incredible pull. Jalbert was the inventor of the parafoil, and probably not the manufacturer of the kite. cu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
