Subject: Need help for Quadrifoil in winter

I've been flying stunt kites for a couple of years, and know a little bit. However, I am totally ignorant of Quadrifoils. I am thinking of 
getting one and doing some SnowBoard-Kiting, rather than using skis.

I could sure use the benefit of anyone elses knowledge of Traction Kiting in the Winter.

FYI - not that temp makes any difference, but it can easily stay below -25 for weeks on end around here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, name brands, recommended sizes (I'm 240lbs), etc...

Thanks

Roger,

You should be speaking to Jim Wlesh of the fledgling Manitoba Kite
Club. He can be reached at jim_welsh@umanitoba.ca. I happen to
know that he is researching a large number of traction kites at the
moment. He may even be able to let you try some.
