No such thing as a ridiculous idea

Elastic booster, though tbh I’m less interested in direction than the idea of v2 BRM… Maybe this allows you to ride a 300cm wing race foil

Kite lines on a reel, I imagine there may be some advantage to having lines at 5m, 10m, 20m? Upwind decreases, power increases as line lengths increase according to kiting conventional wisdom, but that may apply poorly to this context
