power kite
Wind-harnessing canopy
A power kite is a large kite designed to generate substantial pulling force, used in activities like kiteboarding, kite landboarding, and kite buggying.
Unlike recreational kites flown for display, power kites harness wind energy to propel a rider across water, sand, or snow: She learned to control the power kite before attempting her first water start.
