Abstract: A hand-held wing rig includes an inflatable front tube forming a leading edge and a rigid or inflatable center strut which together span a canopy. A radially projecting spoiler profile is formed approximately in the lower region of the leading edge. In use, the spoiler profile is tangentially flowed against, facing a user. Further disclosed is a kite including a spoiler profile formed approximately in the lower region of the leading edge, which is tangentially flowed against.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hand held wing rig a center strut of which has recessed grips.

Abstract: A system for trimming a kite having first and second lines, first ends of which are secured to a first side to the kite. The system comprises a bar having a hollow interior and at least one spool secured at a first end of the bar such that second ends of the first and second lines are each secured to one of the spools. A winder is provided such that actuation of the winder rotates each spool. The first line extends from the kite to the first end of the bar and the second line extends from the kite to a second end of the bar and through the hollow interior of the bar to the first end of the bar.
