power kites
Wind-pulled canopies
Power kites are large kites designed to generate significant pull, used for traction sports like kiteboarding, kite landboarding, and kite buggying.
Unlike traditional kites flown for leisure, power kites harness wind force to propel a rider across water, sand, or snow: She learned to control the power kite before attempting kiteboarding.
