Hahahahahahaha Blow that there wasn't nearly enough wind for the speed he needed. Good for havin a go though, but maybe try a different spot. I've got a pier at my local also and am waiting for the right wind.
Actually the right wind's been there a few times but i've been too chicken to do it
These guys can teach you how to get a bit more height on your jumps.
That was insane!!! if there are any paragliders out there who know the answer please fill me in. all the idiot know it alls please re frame from dribbling your bull****.
could you use depower to trim your kite or would you have to modify your lines?
Matt always great to see you having fun ...... Thanks for the laugh, we all stuff up, at least you see the funny side.. and don't hide it. And although you fly a "tree finder" (possibly now shreaded), anyone that knows you, knows you can actually kite. Can't wait to catch up and take the piss pout of you.
Cheers mate! :D hahaha.... for those who had a winge, good on ya...ill put up a video of me 'trying to kite' again soon for sure, so u can have another winge ;)
didnt come out of it very bad, scratched my arm abit, but board and kite were both fine...what can i say? its cabrinha gear..not any this other shyt you can buy ;)...withstands anything :)

I have a feeling you will be eating your own words fairly soon Matt C. With your riding style it will probaly be served through a straw while you are straped in your wheel chair.
you shouldn't have believed all that stuff about Cabrinhas jumping higher longer and all that and not only do they like trees they like rocks it seems too
sheesh wots with the red thumbs did you not see the winky
Firstly there is always people who knock people down... It's a fact of our culture...
I for one give credit to this dude. Go big and jump rockwalls also jibb random stuff. At least he's having a go albeit if he started it out all wrong. If you do this sort of stuff think about the consequences.. And be prepeared to deal with them if or when it goes bad.. Entertainment value wise it was funny as.. As people on the beach probably thought too. If he had stuck the jump would you all be so negative.. Me thinks not and it would be like 'that was cool mate'..
Kiting is an extreme sport. It's heading way too lame right now with everyone so 'touchy feely' saying 'you cant do this or you cant do that'... Do what you want and go as hard as you want.
I know that Shorncliffe pier will be jumped this year at Sandgate. There are 3 of us that are already waiting for the right day to do it and it will be posted.. Then you can say that we are knobs also..
As for cabrinha jokes... Whatever.. It's dependent on the riders skill and conditions more than the kite. I've seen some pretty cool stuff done of Cabs and have owned one previously.
Anyways thats my rant..
JPout.
Fully sick bro!!! Let me know when your gonna jump the pier and I will come and do it with ya!!! Then after we can head down to the flagged area and pull some fully sick un-hooked freestyle moves in between the flags!!! See ya soon bro!!!
Just goes to show your inteligence. What flags are you on about? This isn't NSW 'BRO'! and we dont have flags at sandgate! Nice one DB!
How much wind are you waiting for to jump sandgate pier? I will bring a few cartons. And what wind direction? Where is this pier anyway? I normally to mudcliffe not mudgate, but will be there watching and giving you beer afterwards.

Good on you for giving it a shot, make sure you post the vid when you make it next time! Theres more to kiting that just staying upwind, seems like a lot of people have forgotten that. Its supposed to be an "extreme" sport. Extreme things make it fun! Just riding out and back in over and over again may be fine for some but don't knock the people who want to push it further. Ignore the haters dude looking forward to part 2, good to hear you and your gear were ok.
Um, there is a difference between an extreme sport and an extremely stoopid sportsperson.
In extreme sports, the most extreme people (Laird Hamilton, Bob Burnquist, Ruben Lenten, for example) work up to their achievements gradually. They match their skill level to the feat they want to attempt.
Extremely stoopid sportspeople, on the other hand, attempt dangerous things beyond their skill level, without a backup plan, and without waiting for the right conditions, relying on hope and bravado.
Yeah man ignore the people that are telling you you are an idiot for kiting in a spot you shouldn't and jumping over a wall... ROCK ON DUDE! (literally)

Well done for completely missing the point, did you, Matt and Mantis go to school together???? Kite accidents witnessed by the clubbies at Currumbin WILL be recorded and WILL be used as evidence to get kiting banned on the WHOLE Gold Coast. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW??????
Not sure what All the fuss is about, we have a crew of beach jumpers and the record is 3 four wheel drives lined side by side, how about half you button cruncher forum geeks, get out there and put your name down to some stuff that will advance the sport.

yer i am sure that retards attempt is doing everything it can to further the sport . No doubt you are mates with the ****wits who hang out at melville thinking its cool to boost over other people in the water .
lol, what where you thinking... "oh i might try to jump this breakwater rock" the video looks random and so i got a laugh (since you weren't hurt).
the smart move would of been to go to the end of the rock breakwater and do a ghost jump first, spot your landing and see if it looks that you would of cleared the rocks had they been there, but the smartest move is not to attempt these things and if you do.. just share it with mates.
hahaaha are you one of those 17 year old kids that kite at currumbin? if so well done because we need to thin out twits like you. try an inverted handle pass next time that way u might land on your head. better luck next time.
And to the guys jumping the pier. grow some balls and jump the 3 bridges that go to redcliffe, that would be so fully sick man, wow u would be heroes, ha.
we got a jetty that goes out in our estuary but i don't think ill be doing that
looking forward to part 2, good to hear you and your gear were ok.
