Earlier we had DIY buggies that were pulled around by kites, so it’s only fair to have ones pulled by kites… on ice, Eric writes “Once it’s too cold to kitesurf in the water, it’s time to find a frozen lake and kite on top of the water. Build a “traditional” Polynesian ice canoe using aluminum extrusion or whatever material you have at hand. If the water ever froze in Polynesia, I’m sure this is what their ice kite/sail craft would look like.”Link.
