A combination of the two will be really interesting. Lou Wainman, one of the sport's biggest innovators, wants to give surfers wings. Advances in fabrics will help kite manufacturers create incredibly efficient shapes that'll allow riders to jump for much longer.

Truer than you know -- one of the paragliding pilots I've known got into it after first doing kitesurfing (and he's probably not the only one).
