Today was one of those gusty NW days at Kurnell. I decided to take the CB2 9m for a spin.... I have to say, that kite is great for those wanting to jump really high (30ft+) and stay up there for ever...

I think it's time for the Sydney riders to do a jump-off... Any takers? I'm happy to be judging as I would not want to compete against the Galah :)

I'm keen to watch a jump off between Rich Stenning , the CAPTAIN and St Moritz ...... I think it would be an awesome spectacle ..... saw St Moritz pull off a nose bleeder today at KKK so I think the contest would be nice and close .... in fact I might be interested in a little sidey if any one keen ...

Sounds like whe have a great little challenge for Saturday.

Hmmm Richie, that's a tough one. He's an experience big jumper.... I saw him pull a few big ones in Brazil on a 7m SB1 in 35 knots... He came down pale as a corps...

Anyway, it's all fun... so let's do it!!!

Doppelganger, thanks for the advice. We've bought all the equipment and have mastered the suggested measuring technique. I might even call the Guinnes Book of Record guys given we now have the TOOLS to make it official

Anyway, I'll take my video camera along so we can do a "video referee"...

Well the jump off took place today ..... only thing is that Rich Stenning says St Moritz didn't tell him about it and the Captain had to take his boat up river and couldn't compete .... so a couple of changes had to take place .... firstly St Moritz went to Wanda where witnesses say he went stratospheric off the lip ..... Justin the Menace Lowry stood in for the Captain .... at Boat Harbour ... where witnesses say he was Mars bound and Rich Stenning .... well as I said ... St Moritz didn't tell him so ... looking for any witnesses who saw Rich jumping at Dolls .... Rich really doesn't need to be told about a challenge ... he's always jumping for the stars.

So the result .... well come on witnesses ... lets hear your opinions....
