I bumbed into it in thanks to a PubSub subscription stack item "Snowkite":
To summarize my snowkite season - lot's of trying to learn it, and then finally a reward in terms of 6.5 hours of speeding in Laajalahti ice on a very sunny day.
I had managed to however somehow get the bridles on the left side switched, and noticed back home that there were some serious wearing in bridles. That was the season for me unfortunately - snow and ice melted away while waiting new brdiles for Ozone. Danny in www.action-pact.co.uk was very helpful again in trying to get the bridles for me. Still waiting though.

This kiting is really sweet..or is "Sweet" the right term? We went to try that on the grass in Dallas the other day with Paul. Paul is a Kite freek :-) mainly on water (as he leave 300m from a lake with perfect wind condition you could say that this guy knows how to chose his location), but also on the ground. Damned this is powerful !!! wind was 5 to 6MPH. and he had to grab me not to be taken away in the power zone !!! I could only imagine the speed in the water ... For a paraglider pilot like me , that was quite a surprise ! Here on the coat I only consider flying when it is 11 to 14Mph... then we can stay up.. when over 15mph, you can stay home...
