utter nonsense i'm 105kg = roughly 230lbs.

285 lbs wouldn;t be to hard to get p and riding. the trick is to get planning and then have her jump on your back
HUH? No really HUH?
yeah, that would be easy.

Jump on to the back of a person travelling 20mph ...

easy.. just run at 20mph and step on.

it would still be exactly as kiting at 285lb since that is what you would be carrying.

you need lots of power in the kite to get that much extra weight out of the water!

Much easier if you get her standing on the board as well, like in the above video.

The picture from Branson is not a fake, it is possible...I did it already too...even with a heavier lady.

Haha Toby is calling your woman FAT :lol:
