Biggest jumps have been on my 8m, pretty much overpowered. Kickers are essential to go as big as possible. I won't say the ability of board to hold down power had much bearing, don't need to edge much when you have a kicker to launch off. My biggest jump was also a mistake, God knows how but it was ...

You know you are a kook if you rig your bar/lines directly downwind :rollgrin: That one again. I almost always do that, because it is very convenient for checking the lines before launching on your own. But no need to discuss the pros and cons of that again ;-) I rig up directly downwind, it's usua...
