It would be awesome to see someone jumping like like crazy but it's just mot happening. Or, if I need a telescope to see them, well, that is a shame. I stand behind my words, we need a crowd 'pleasers', we need people to get exited for this sport to survive.

There's a completely different crew (at a different spot) who are into jumping - my guess is they were also into jumping with TTs before they started foiling. They use race foils, long masts, foil kites & woos. They jump ... & jump ... & jump. Different strokes ...
Ok BraCuru, I'll come right out & say it: the jumpers are predominantly (although not exclusively) Canadians from Poland, Ukraine & Russia. Not sure what inference to draw from that. They are also "old" - in fact if kiting isn't typically a young person's sport, foiling is even less so due to cost. Only young kiters are see are those with kiting daddies.BraCuru wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 10:38 amWhaaaaat?!downunder wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 2:56 amThe biggest disappointment is that absolutely no one foils in +25kn.

This is huge fun jumping in 25+kts.
I am 50 (plus) old and feel like 15 (minus) years old flying on 10 (plus) m level like crazy hahaha.
Hahaha - it would be funny to know. Dreamers to be Gagarin's successors?

I agree. It will be a thing with the do-it-because-it's-f*@*#*!-hard crowd.
