yeah I've noticed the same.
i think it has to do with the speed/acceleration involved with jumping on a smaller kite. both on the way up and the way down.
Everything happens faster on a small kite.

Guilty! A mere 30.9 ft. (9.4 m) in around 25 mph. Could have sworn I boosted way above that lots to times and may have (or not) in the past. Then again, just missed several days of strong wind into the 30's before the gadget arrived. Hope dies eternal, next time, but send more wind ... !

My WOO is broken. I know I regularly boost 60 and sometimes 80 feet but each time I check the session stats all I see are 30 footers.
What the hell WOO?!

It's that old chestnut.
"Baby, I know the ruler says between 5 and 6 inches but that's impossible it's normally 12 at an absolute minimum. Are you sure it's not broken?"
However, it looks like the Woo might not yet be so accurate.

I think the woo-hoo is a bit off. Just by watching guys going huge and knowing from work what 30ft (40ft, 20ft) looks like.
But if correct, I rather not use it and live in 2x land!! feels better than reality. That way my 50ft jumps feel insane and I go home happy
And how would the woo-hoo know if I used a 6ft wave to go huuuge?

Ahhhh, good find. Updating the firmware means that they now should match each other. However, the question remains how accurate is the Woo? It would be good to see the Woo vrs the Xensr with some sort of control.

One of my mates has two on his board and they register the same heights.
