fricken sick... :wink:
awesome how they where prepared for anything.
My question: how and for what? What was he wearing? Parachute? (the gear around his waist)
Would be cool to see a follow up, on gear, boat, tow line, weather, etc.
No need to see some ding dong copying this and die.

Thats just plain stupid... We allready know kitings full of dumbfucks so dont encourage it - try base jumping if you want to grow balls. They use real chutes and will definately be laughing at that, as boring ho humm...

amazing! Jesse, King of the Air ! :thumb:

Looks like he had a parachute...Jon Malmberg is base jumper...and we know that kite gear can break...so good safety call there!

Fair enough about the safety gear - So if the guy who jump from 10,000 ft and do end over end, had a kite board with bindings and landed on the water - that would make them more awesome hey ;)
