Had a great kite session last weekend! It was sunny and blowing about 8-10 m/s, probably gusting around 12 m/s. My friend was standing in the water recording for our amateur kite movie that we plan to make this summer. Here’s one of my jumps over him 🙂
My first kite was a Cabrinha Crossbow kite, a so called bow-kite. The kite is from 2007 and still going strong! The kite is smashed in the water hundred times and the bar has been used so much that it's about to fall apart! Still the kite looks like brand new and it holds the air for days! The Cabrinha Crossbow is a great kite, but I tested many other bow-kites and they simply are the best and this site is dedicated to them!

You should carve more, to get more height in your jumps. Bending your knees is also a trick to avoid dangling in the air. Looking forward to see more jumps =)
