Hey guys,

Just got back from the most unreal trip in Queenstown NZ,

Here are just a couple of shots I managed to sort from the 50GB of GO PRO footage this morning before work.

We are still chasing down more footage so there is likely to be more photos spring up (tail of a helicopter) I bet those photos are no good, like I have never seen a good photo taken at 2050m above sea level from the back of a helicopter.

Many thanks to

Choice as BRO!

awesome pics. looks like a blast. best thing is no lines for lifts. Did you get out at causeway. some serious wind yesterday after all. schoolies was a good session, got hectic for a while and one kite left the beach accross the road via lev's car to the sticks. No casualties thankfully.

Yeah had a wicked boost session at causeway on the 10m, then went to shoolgirls beach, and had a sic session on the 6m, two sic sessions in one day!

Lucky I have PSSR safety passport, I have better safe approach distances than you guys to the power lines, still that launch is so dicey man! Causeway water launch is heaps better than a 50kV hot launch! I have seen videos of flash overs, not nice!

PSSR safety passport?? Is that getting all technical for the ability to withstand any collision while operating standard equipment drunk (glass, can, kite, etc)??

Its Power System Safety Rules,

So you can work next to and under transmission lines. You know, those things that buzz because of the juice pumping through em..

I think there is a direct link to performing tricks, such as the fully powered F16 I attempted yesterday, fully powered boosts and fully powered kite into water leading edge first, not ideal....


It could stand for heaps of things, like, Pissed Sexy Sensational Racks, lets get some of those
