Kitewing LLC no loger offers commercial product. The shop is closed.

Since 2014 we are proud to have designed and promoted hand held wings. We modified and upgraded the original Kitewing. We introduced seven new designs including skate sails.

We pioneered the carbon frame and the use of HMWPE or Dyneema sails. Our carbon frames incorporated custom tapered tube and the innovative V tube which replaced bulky plastic parts.

Kitewing LLC sold what we sailed. We were all about saving weight and efficient sailing.

Kitewing LLC skate sails remain the only skate sail designed to be carried on a pack, the only rig available.

Nordic skaters and skiers who seek to sail need look no further than the pages here for the latest theory and thought. Americanskimbat.com is a resource with links to gear, ice safety, ice advice, and the path to a rig. Build your own or find a used one.
