Sebol's 19 year old nephew Bob out on his 7m, overpowered in 40 knots during the last storm of this year.

He made us surfboard riding 30 and 40 somethings look like pansys.



Managed to get a bit of footage in between the angry storm fronts.

It's not a jump unless your kite is horizontal.

Some for your consideration

See, this I like.

It's always fun to boost don't get me wrong- I love to boost (and boast).

But when you start looping for the first time.

It's scary as $$$$!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!

An edge is a softer looping kite than a C4.

I don't know about edges but 2012 11 meter crossbow dosnt loop that good if anything they are **** at it ,my first time ended with a big face plant then a hauling of my ass through about 3 wave sets . Did give a big kick me in the ass of power though .I know it was all me but the kite is deffently not as fast as I though it was . Any how have to wait till I am much higher before sending it will tell you how it went if not so good I will be in hospital .

Yep I hear you. I looped the edge once so far and it's a very different pull. The C4 seems to give you much more confidence.
Might save the looping for the C4. Just don't like how gutless it is. Maybe I should replace the 2011 11m C4 with a 13m

11, ok to down loop etc, 9 and 7 are fine with the 7 being pretty potent, shortest knot settings,
