This is for Wet Willy, Crazyjockey, Windwarning and Al Mcleod.
Yes it is another Ruben Lenten video, but this is much better.
Not only does he go higher, but further and with much, much more power, these jumps make windsurfers' jumps look like childplay.
If you don't want to watch the whole thing, the good stuff is at about 2:20.
enjoy :D.

also enjoy this... just one jump.

tobi wished it cauld .

I'm not saying it's cool... i'm just saying it's better :D.

It in fact looks like he's doing a massive, powerful kiteloop, where he gets pulled up and downwind in the same way a windsurfer does in his jump.
Also, sounds to me like you only watched the youtube video, where it does look a little like that... watch the other video i posted, the youtube one was only to show some real height.

Its just paragliding in a storm dude i like hang gliding better

Oh, so the kite is the one doing the trick, then?

And actually, a windsurfing sail is more like an airfoil, whereas a kite is more like...a parasail.

Thats why when we go into the air we don't flail around desperately.

sorry to be the one to spoil the news for you but windsurfers loft aswell .
If you hadn't noticed but you guys actually lift your sail so that it's horizontal in the air, acting like a kite to hold you up and loft around in the air.

Thats right we do, but it is not how we jump in that we don't jump by being pulled into the air... thats what makes a loft. Oh wait kiters do jump- they do that little hop into switch stance or whatever name kites call it.

I think you'll find it is now called a "hi dangle with board twisty"....

look surfing boy you go out to ya shed get ya wire cutters and cut those lines now its time to take up windsurfing now be a man

Why is it that when kiter's start posting on windsurfing forums that the thread quickly degenerates into a "mines better than yours discussion"?

Do windsurfer's troll on the kitesurfing forums?

I'm for one sick of the crap that pollutes a "windsurfing" forum.

What a lot of bull**** in comparing kite related jumps with sailboarding jumsps. The behavoiur of a kite in jumping is more akin to hanggliding/paragliding with and throught the wind, as opposed to a sailboard which is based on wind strength, wave size and steepness and, of course, the sailboarders' ability.

Also, when a sailboarder makes a "big jump", of say, 6 - 10 metres, they literally fall from the sky with gravity making the descent fast. Most kiters I've seen generally float back down, the kite acting as a parachute.

It's like comparing the proverbial "apple to the orange" - totally unrelated.

Let this topic RIP.
