@Toby:
Did you take off on a wave?
Does not look like you were coming down at all from that Shadowbox graphic

no, flat water.
The graphic is zoomed in too much, so you cannot see the highest point of the jump, it shows only the curve going up.
But I also measured the jump with the tools of the box, and it is 70m far and hangtime 6+ secs.
Of course, it is in ft, not meters!
14 was my smallest kite I had with me...and I wanted to test the upper end.
