Yesterday, in the Netherlands Jamie jumped 31.4 meters on an Ozone 7m Edge v. 10 in 30 to 40 knots. Very impressive for this young man! He also had 2 other jumps over 30 meters yesterday. All I can say is wow!!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Probably worth noting that he jumps that in flat water. Unless there are kickers in workum somewhere, have only been there once.

Yes the water was totally flat. The 30m is absolutely correct, i even thought it was higher when i looked at him.
Workum is full of young talent jumping enormous high. The same day the ocean side at Wijk aan Zee was one big pro show with Kevin Langeree, Steven Akkersdijk, Erik Blokker and Maarten Heager!
