One of them (the British) is propably using a "Tiger", the other one (Bernard Voyer from Quebec) is using a "Traction" made by "Concept Air". Andrew, I'm sorry but I don't agree with you. I don't know the "Tiger" but I know the "Traction" can do the job. The Traction is design by kite-skiers for kite-skiing. I'm sure Bernard Voyer can pull is sled on a cross-wind or down-wind course without a constant attention and concentration. If he uses a harness he will be able to relax and let the kite do the job for him. You have a better control of the speed and of your direction with a good quad-line kite than with a single-liner. By the way I have no interess in "Concept Air", ( they are my competitor) but I just love kite-skiing, I know the "Traction" and I know it can do the job.
