i want to try to kite that beast.
maybe i need to make one?

Addapted from a product called AirChair:

Originated out of Oz if I recall.

They've since been adapted to tow-in surfing and kiteboarding too. There are photos somewhere online. The guys do use snowboard bindings to handle the extra leverage on the ankles though. It's just a welded stainless construction so quite heavy too. Simply trim the ride height with the board angle and if you do it aggressively enough you can get quite a good jump out of it.

Edit: found that somewhere
