Good height, but could do with a little more hang time.

If he did an old school board off and dropped his board,
It would be a looong body drag back to it.

It's sort of cool that he can do it ... but, that's only because he is doing it on a wing not designed for soaring. He would have been safer and had more fun on a speed wing or a mini-paraglider.

BTW I understand that the guys who go kite soaring wear climbing harnesses and a carabiner, not just a chicken loop and a kite harness.

1. i reckon snowboarding down fresh pow would have been more fun.

2. my chicken loop snapped last session i was out. wonder what his safety leash would have done
