Foil Jumping Pictures/Videos & Tips

Postby fat blokes can fly » Sun Sep 30, 2018 1:57 pm

So I'm back on a foil kite after 18yrs of LEI. Now have a Sonic2 15m on 21m lines.

Let's see the best jumping pictures and videos, links etc.

There is not a huge amount of jumping footage out there and thought it would be good to have it all in one place.

Here is some

That last one was nuts - catching the updraft and hanging there......

18 years of Leis........It took me 13 years to buy my first inflateable........and tehn I only use them when it's very windy

@Gunnar:
Very nice, I still like the old school stuff.

I think the following video was one of the reasons that motivates me, 15 years ago, to switch from other soft kites to my first flysurfer ps1, shown in the video:

@flat blokes can fly:
That's what you maybe mist all the years :wink:





And about high jumping, just ask Olly Bridge & Flysurfer how to do :wink:

That's just rider skills shown in that video. I was doing most of those tricks in 2004 on the Rhino2 20m.

Impressive kite video is what i would like to see such as Gunnar's & Oli's.

Regards Oli doing 28m that all very well but I am seeing more and more ridiculous figures from the WOO. Jury is out on credibility.
