I'd assume he meant 70L
More likely 7L less than his body weight.
210-7= 203 (liter) 😅 Why don’t we all just use the Matric System, always.

I don't think there are any hands in the world that can hold it.
Your bodyweight plus a pulling/acceleration force can't be that much for a normal strong man to hold on to.

Re: Jamie Overbeek - Did old school flatline? Maybe not, it might have evolved

I don't get it. Take your kite and your board. Do your thing and thats it. Enjoy what YOU are doing. If the industri and the market don't like, so be it. What I think (insignificant): jesus walks, board off and spins looks a bit lame. Although it maybe super funny to practise it still nothing that a...
