Reinhart Paelinck
K.U. Leuven Kite Power
Ever since he made his first steps on the beach, Reinhart Paelinck (21) has been fascinated with 'flying' objects. Even as a kid he already built dozens of single-line kites in all possible colors and shapes, evolving towards the design of power- and surfkites in 2005. His favorite sports also include some kites: kitesurfing, kite-mountainboarding, powerkiting, kiteflying,...
Because of his passion for drawing, designing and problem-solving, Reinhart chose to study 'Product Development' at the Artesis University College of Antwerp, which he finished in June 2010. His master thesis 'KitePower' covered all of his interests into a single theme.
In August 2010, he will join the K.U.Leuven Kite Power research program.
