Too much wind or too large of a sail????
You decide

Heres one of my jumps, as long as your careful with what kite you fly in what winds jumping is quite safe!!! Been twice as high as this.

kev240,
It looked like you could have gotten a lot more air if you brought the kite down farther. Still, nice little vids.

What happened to him isn't a mystery. The whole video was posted on kiteboarding.be weeks ago.

i like to jump with my 2.5 and my 4.9 but i am not sure how to get more hight than distance ?

SailingJunkieXL - 2-8-2005 at 08:42 PM

you can get height by keeping the kite near the top of the power window. 20+ knots of wind helps too.

:frog: That guy is fine must've been crazy to have gone that high. The highest ive ever gone was about 6 foot. I did get pulled really far along the ground once that hurt. :frog:
