SHQ has them and also Kite Power i think.

I want to know how the woo knows it was a kite board jump and not just lifted up by a heli or in a elevator or by a drone??

Skywalker - Or a really long stick. Your right even wih GPS they could fake it.

Most of these guys are posting Videos of these sessions as well. Its all about the bragging rights kind off RED BULL KING OF THE AIR online.

I am pooing myself at 5-6 Metres let alone the stuff these guys are up to.

I bet I am not up at 5 Metres either.

Its cool BUT 63ft up HOLY CRAPBALLS BATMAN.

Without stating a top hat video tread, what is the highest recorded kite jump? or is the woo the first to give us an accurate account?

It's got a 9 axis accelerometer I read. Standing still and throwing 20m in the air might not register as a "jump" ???? Ordered one from the states couldn't find any in Australia

Pictures or it didn't happen. The Woo is cool to put a number on it, but it's not huge if it's not on video and photograph.

That beats the windsurf jump record of 62.3 feet = 19.0 metres. It's actually more of a drop record, as it's from the top of the jump to where the board's lowest landing point was in the trough, so not comparing apples with apples.

According to this review
wetestkites.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/review-woo-sports-tracking-of-jump-height-and-air-time-part-1/

They stuck 2 woos on one board and the readings were all over the show. Not reliable in the least.

Bad communications oz stores! Matt988 and I both emailed woo and were told it was yet to be released here. Hence Matt ordered one from the states. You guys need to have s word with woo to lift their game.

So if I throw her off the balcony at Horrocks with a woo attached it won't work. Bugger!

I emailed them about two month or so ago and they got back to me with a full list of the retailers straight away. They have also been very fast getting back to me when I had some questions and contacted them on Facebook.
I love all these types of devices that gameify life like fitbits ect. I've been using the woo since just before Easter and find it pushes me every time I go out. From talking to some of the guys on the beach it seems like it's pretty accurate but without video and something to measure against I'm not sure exactly how accurate.
