Kiteboating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kiteboating or kite boating is the act of using a kite as a power source to propel a boat (Motorboat or sailboat). The activity occurs in lakes and in open seas. Records of ocean crossing have been made. Placing turbines in the boat's hull lets the kite power generate electricity onboard.[1]
