My time with hand held wings has been a journey of wing design from Kitewing to American Skimbat. Suffice to declare the wings have come a long way. An evolution of theory and sailing contributes understanding. We distilled the elements of an experience. Stick with what works.

The resume of expertise includes building and flying ultralight aircraft, racing DN iceboats, multihull sail boats, design and construction of boats, homes and hand held wings, composite construction from ice boat wing masts to rifle stocks, vintage motorcycles, velomobiles, and Softride bikes, including time spent as US Navy Diving and Salvage officer, and fine artist.

The process of making things go faster is an obsession as well as an art form.

Hand held wing sailing reduces the aging process.

Ice will suffice.
