Awesome, but don't think he landed any of those jumps.

Did you already kiteboard in gusty 50 knots conditions? If you did, you do know that clean landings are more difficult in these situations. You're right that he wasn't able to land all jumps, but I'm sure he had some clean landings during this session.

Len10 started a subculture in Dutch kiteboarding community: go big and loop it horizontally in winds over 35 knots. Way out of my league, but nice to watch during my sessions on the water.

The first few scenes are filmed in west of Ireland !

Achill island to be precise , he dropped into out local kite school on his way to the airport where we had a few beers and photos etc he's a really cool guy! Spent ages talking to us and asking any questions we had for him!

Just saying mate.. In his other videos he actually pulls some off. Relax and also, this thread is a repost. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/General/small-jumps-in-light-wind/

Some of it is "wijk aan zee" for sure, that used to be my local a very long time ago!

Sorry for the repost. I did not see the first upload on this forum. Change of film crew could be the cause that we don't see at least one clear landing in this video.

I am impressed, epic feats in epic conditions.

Can those who think his kite is too small and that he should be landing all those jumps please post vids of them doing better? I think not . . .

We (Dutchmen) have never seen len10 on a 5m kite, did you? Besides that, this was a day with gusts over 50 knots.
