Traditional Polynesian Ice Canoe (Ice Proa) - How to Kite Ice Sail

Step 3 It's all about the edge

To get going on the ice buggy, you edge against the pull of the kite and use only the component of force that points in the direction you want to go. Rarely do you want to be pointed directly at the kite, so the pull of the kite is almost always to the side. Since your feet are used to steer, there isn't much to hold you in the buggy. (Some more advanced buggies have specially designed seat to counteract this problem.)

How do you stop once you get going?

[Foaly7]

Well we know that if you hit something you'll definitely stop. Short of that, jump off the board.

Let me rephrase: how do you stop and survive the process?

[Foaly7]

Will you let me know when you find out? :P

I haven't figured it out yet! I'm still going!!

 You seem to be pretty good at ice sailing during the summer and posting on Instructables at the same time.

See what it says right before his name PRO. That's something that professionals can do.
