Ewans video above is pretty average (looks around 12/14m jumps ?), not sure about the comment about boots though as there are plenty of entries with boots in their vidoes. I think Lewis won a spot riding boots ?

Aaron Hadlow is the best kitesurfer of all time, amazing that he is still ripping so hard at freestyle.

Will be interesting to see who is riding a "C" kite this year (Arron, Lassie, Liam, Lewis, Oswald Smith ?), seems a move towards more hangtime and flatter kites in the past 2 years.

I saw the title and was going to post Cabarete straight away!. What about some of the south American countries, I heard Columbia is pretty good or Brazil in Spetemebr time is awesome.

I think Liam Whaley could win it this year, I though he was the best rider in last years competition for variety and height, along with Marc Jacobs. Jessie Richman and Arron Hadlow are also in with a good shout still, Jessie goes for the riskiest moves out of all the riders, but I'm not convinced by...

Olly Bridge or Tom should have been in not Airton. I think the line up looks great, and nice to see two super stylish Dominican riders in the pack (Luis Alberto Cruz and Positio), Luis will put on a good show.

Judging by the video posted I believe he jumped 33m. Clearly a very good big air rider, perfect kickers, floaty kite and big winds, others have got >28m recently so it's for sure possible.
