At first look I didn't notice the shark, but if you look really closely in the lower left corner, you will be shocked!!!
Now I know what everyone will say, "Photoshopped". No way, dude!

Awesome shot. 30 foot at least! Wow. Now that's what kitesurfing is about, flying.

Awesome jump
Dont care much about the kite nor size - but who is the rider ?
As that is all it comes down to IMO, the rider and not the gear
Is it you johnjohn2103 - and I assume your name is John ?
Great
And yes, we have had some VERY windy days here the last weeks now and then (around UK/Brittany/Holland/Denmark).

No one can really jump that high, clearly the original photo was altered. People should not believe everything they see on the Internet. So I ran some extensive analysis on the photo and removed the added layer to reveal how this was really done.

Good catch on the shark, I did not see that the first time either.
