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.
That dosn't even look like a jump. It looks like he is getting thrown around in the air like a teabag so it is not technically a jump then is it
It's just like going paragliding in a storm and getting thrown around in the air. That doesn't make it cool. In fact it looks like he is having a seizure in the air.
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.
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.
Stand up force and fille inn,,Seriously iff only you rearlly new and only then can we liv az one,a way to go weav got to go .iree
here is a vid called kiting vs windsurfing. maybe this might help us all work out wich is the better sport
Wind worrier i agree................. TOBBII AS FOR YOUR big boost, i think he was stoking as he nearly landed back on the beach .......Yes it was big ???
As for his wave riding on a twin tip ??? ,,,,well he got an arial on the outside section and landed on the inside shore break and wasted the 10 waves in between and claimed it as a wave ride ?
waveriding on a windsurfy looks like some old kooky man on a 10ft mal, really struggling to get the rail into the wave. it just doesnt look like surfing. youtube "ben wilson"... tell me that isnt better than surfing. powered turns, bigger spray and air.
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.
