This video breaks many taboos for me - since I have been paragliding and kitesurfing for years... That one can now soar with an inflatable kite is a clear step into having paragliders and these kites merge. Collapses would of course be a thing of the past in paragliding, and I suspect the new "kitesoarers" would have a higher top end speed - another problem with paragaliders.

Check out the world speed record with an inflatable kite on water which is close to 50 knots!
