Does a 3.0 Buster have traction enough?

Hi, just bought my first kite, a PKD Buster 3.0! I already went to the beach to try it sometimes and the kite pull me strongly by the sand. my doubt is: Does this kite have power enough to make some jumps? and what about a mountainskate?
I´m 62 Kg and the winds in my area are sometimes 10 knts. Thank you for all the help i can~get :P im new at this lol

You can jump with any kite in the right wind. The buster does not produce much lift. The lift it does make is dynamic instead of static like blades and begos. You will have to be in winds probably 20+ knots to jump with this kite, and then its going to drop you fast. I have a 3m buster, I know what they are like.

Hope this helps
