ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is described, particularly suitable for skiers, for propelling a skier by the force of wind. The apparatus includes a parachute-like sail with the shroud lines of the sail connected to a harness worn by the skier. Control lines extend along the sides of the sail towards the harness to provide directional control. The shroud lines are attached to a special holding device between the sail and harness, which device is connected to the harness by a quick release lock.
