And they're a lot more advanced than traditional sails.

Traditional sails only work with surface winds, which are relatively weak. These giant kites can go much higher and take advantage of much stronger and more reliable winds at higher altitudes.

You can also go upwind with traditional salsa

I think it's more the refried beans that cause wind.
