- "A new kind of arch emerged in the 80's when Etienne Veryes invented the Skybow" [[ Do not confuse with the rotating ribbon arch product called Skybow. ]] The non-rotating ribbon kite arch has been also called Windbow. Playsail and Windbow http://www.kites.tug.com/bernhard/gpeters/playsail.html "Windbow and note clip from the page:
  - "This arch kite is 100 feet of wind-powered fun. The Wind Bow takes to the wind like a living creature with its bending and looping flight. Hold on tight as it powers into the air with a roar of flapping rip-stop. You can also fly it on long lines for a real thrill. This one will take two to fly and when the wind is strong and steady a pull on one end can send your partner into the air. Graphite sparing, 28" high, 100' long."]

The Windbow is my [George Peters] version arch ribbon with a few added aerodynamic details to create a super wind toy." Discuss: AirborneWindEnergy/message/9100
