flying device elevated above a surface by an interplay of forces provided by the wind gravity the control lines and some form of tension by the kite operator here wind refers to the force of moving air which may be created by air moving relative to the kite and or the kite moving relative to the air wind may be at least about 5 knots up to about 40 knots or more power kites may be flown by a stationary operator or used to generate a tractive conveyance force and flown by a moving operator commonly associated to the activity of kiteboarding the kite operator 24 generally comprises any person or persons linked to the power generated by the kite the kite may be flown by a stationary or moving operator the conveyance platform 26 generally comprises any structure or device that can be pulled over a surface by the force of the kite alternatively the operator 39 s feet may serve as the conveyance platform that contacts the surface the surface 28 generally comprises any boundary capable of slidingly supporting a conveyance platform the control lines 30 generally comprises any elongated tethering material capable of coupling the kite and the force generated by the kite to the kite controller said control lines may be a multitude of kite lines that directly.
