paraplegic's kite board - 'soul' by etay amir


'soul' by etay amir

israeli designer etay amir has developed 'soul' a kite surfing board for paraplegics.
he chose kite surfing as he found the water sport had potential to create excitement
and free movement on the water for physically disabled people. the use of the wind
as a power source means the surfer doesn’t require a lot of physical strength, allowing
them to participate in extreme sport.
