Re: Jumping up wind

In fairness a couple of meters is all I'd expect as well. My initial discussion that was overheard was about pop and float and the point I was making at the time was that you can pop and jump and hang off the kite and it will redirect you so you travel up wind. I wasn't necessarily saying that anyon...

Re: Jumping up wind

That's not really what I'm talking about. I think if you've never done it it's hard to imagine that it's possible. Anyway first 14m+ edge I can borrow I'll find out and get back to you.

Re: Crap surf fun

Plenty to think about thanks for the feed back. I am on a old slingshot srt in on shore crap. Can't see me ever using straps. Strapless is far more fun and rewarding in any conditions.
