would a super 10 work for jumping for a 145 pound person? And are there any other 2 line jumping kites?

Joey -
Super 10 is based on the old Flexifoil technology - 2 lines with a leading edge spar and reflexed autostable foil profile and about 19 sq ft area.
Fun to fly, need to fly fast to get power from them.
Not a jumping kite - would you use a 2m foil as a jumping kite? If the wind is strong enough to lift you with that sail, you'll drop like a rock.
Pardon me if this sounds blunt, but it sounds like you're new to traction kiting. Get a good 3 meter 4-line foil kite, learn to fly it well and how
to steer with the brakes, and have fun scudding around on your butt. Then move up to bigger, liftier kites.

The CF is a nice lifty kite. There are a couple 6.3 jump vids on you tube. I had a 5m CF for my first lift kite and it delivered! Take a look at new
CF2 line up. Adjustable AOA, lighter weight ripstop with enhanced stability. Colored bridle, lines, and handles. New kite killers are alot better than
the original CF version. And the price is very nice as well. A few of us flew the 4m proto last September and it was sweet.
As Scudly stated, a nice non lifty 3/4m sail to learn on then go for a lifty model. Beamer 3 or 4 meter then add the Crossie 2.
