Any kite can go huge with strong wind and good technique! I've had my biggest jumps ever on my 8m Catalyst in 30knots. The kite is so controllable, which allows for excellent timing and mega hangtime! I swear though...the only thing that makes you go absolutely massive is catching a mental gust...the kind of gust that lifts you up again when you think your on your way down from 30 feet!

That said, I demoed a 9m 2012 C4 the other day and boosts are so much fun on that thing! The C4 yanks you off the water straight up AND HUGE! Not as good hangtime as a hybrid kite and requires more technique...BUT MUCH MORE FUN! Loads of power in turns, loops and down loops, which allows transition jumps ect to be landed at top speed!

Good example of how to redirect kite coming down from big jump. Thought you were going to stack it until last second 8)

Nice video, well powered up there :thumb:
