Mmmh, the Naish jump looks higher and longer...in less wind!

I think, with this video, He wanted to show his sceptissism about the 2nd vide about the draft jump.

I even don't believe it...sorry, it's to much for me, I don't believe in god too ! maybe this is the reason...or not..

Sweet.

So Toby the question then becomes how many board offset can you do in 14 seconds?

Not big wind white caps look pretty small,like to know size and wind,amazing jump look even better i think with better camera angle,TONY

I could do maybe an 8x boardpass
so far max is 4x...

Anyway, we hear you, and since there is no bullshit in that jump, here is the unedited jump at real speed. Yes, when Shawn is in the air it looks slow but this is real footage. When you jump that high, well the flight is steady!

Now that unedited clip just blows away the edited buzz video.

Personally I don't like nearly all the buzz videos put out through kite brand marketing.... they mean very little to me. What I really like to see how the kite flies. Show us more of your raw video!

When you make really good kites (like you do!) you don't really need the buzz videos with the random flash cuts to biking but shots

So again show us the long wide clips so we can see what you fine people are up to.

One last thing Damien.... my good old Bolt 9m is still going strong and holds air like it was new after many many sessions. Keep up the good work!

Kite looks like a Raven on steroids big air hang time kites is nothing new for Naish they have had loads of them the old Ravens were the kings of big air nothing came close to them, can't wait to try it out and see how it stacks up.

BOOM!

This is really the cool thing about this forum. We can share knowlegde with eachother and the kite companies can interact with the consumer.
Thanks Damien for showing the clip. And thanks Toby for this site.
Really look forward to give the kite a go! Also the new tt linie looks awsome
