Woo. World record is noe 26,8 m. I Wonder about the limits and the body of the premium booster. The depower rate of the kite should matter. So sould wind and waves. But what is the limit, the highest theoretical jump. Given optimal conditions?

Just hit a good updraft and you'll jump to the clouds. Darwin awards are sad though...

The limit of the height of jumping is relative to which Woo you got, which software update you got. And how speed is measured since it is all about speed...

Just get on an airplane with all your kiting gear, and make sure you have your wooo on. And while in the midlle of the flight, tie your wooo around your ankle, go to the middle of the isle, and do a big handstand. You'll definitely be the king of the air.

Use a foil kite. Kite off angel falls and glide the rest of the way and land in the river below.
That counts

Nice one!
I remember few years ago a guy in Maui getting lofted off the beach to what seemed like 50+meters and he wasn't even trying to make a big jump!
With freak conditions and if Woo is in a good mood anything is possible.
