If kite flying and boat sailing enlightens your dead soul then rush now to enjoy the twosome activities by taking a ride over the Kite Boat developed and designed by Monique Mindeis at Polous Design. Called the Powerkite Kite Boat, it provides the dexterity of flying kite while cruising in the company of your beloved, who can reside in a folding seat placed in the back. Sailing up in the aniti-wind course is favorable for the Kite Boat.
Demanding a great level of practice, the art of kitesailing is defined as being hard-pressed by a kite in some vessel permiting the kite forces being relocated through the body of the driver whilst other believes the vessel movement is due to the slim push by kite.

But if you happen to be riding over the speedboat on water then there cannot be a better power source than sun. Featured above is the Czeers MK1 model solar speedboat, a 30-knot photovoltaic dream in luscious shades of carbon fiber, solar cell and lush orange leather. Dutch founders claim it to the world’s first solar speedboat.
The Delft Technical University Solarboat Team designed this original platform to enter into the 2006 Nuon Frisian Solar challenge, which they finally won and then started evolved their interest in attracting serious investment power from Rabobank to develop a full scale test boat.
The resulting test boat is structured using 100% carbon fiber inlaid with leather trim, photovoltaic cells on roughly all flat surfaces and an LCD touch-screen control system, unveiled at the Millionaire Fair in 2007, claims to make up to 30 knots on water. The 10-meter boat can be packed in 14 square meters of solar panels and an 80kw electric motor. It runs without oil and produces no fumes or engine noise and rides in a truly fashionable style.

Fusion is always seen as a weapon in the hands of designers. And the strength of this tool totally depends upon the creativity with which it is utilized. A Swedish designer Bo Zolland has lately proved this. Would you ever think of combining a coupe with a craft and riding in that utra-revolutionary product? Possibily not but can afford to give a thought of riding in such innovative creation. And here you can have one at your service if you give a green signal to Bo Zolland for putting his concept into production.
He united the 1963 Corvette Stingray along with the standard American muscle sedan and the outproduct of a watercraft is really striking. Bo Zolland effectively shaped this advanced and at the same time ultra deluxe watercraft. If it interests you then you can place an order to Stand-Craft a Swedish boat manufacturer and take pride in owning one. I wonder if the backseat passenger’s head is just inch away from the uncovered motor, but can take a long breath as it is still a concept.
