I've jumped hundreds of times with HQ Crossfire 5m kites. I'm 230 lbs and it always plucked me off the ground and floated me down gently but usually in the 2-5' range. I've done the same with my Blade IV and V 6.5m, but the lift is stronger, and the float is better with the extra canopy, usually 2-6' but went up over 12' once in some stronger winds. The 6.5 doesn't need as much wind for the fun to start. 5m is usually considered the smallest size an adult should use for jumping.
