Pretty cool stuff!

hmmm... any aerial awareness is good.... i have done a bit at trampoline joints but it never seemed to transfer to well.... not sure how many hours a week i could do this but i like the idea of it possibly creating some new tricks would be cool. one thing that is for sure if you want a kite setup to mimick someone just leaning back on a rope and hoisting you up it certaintly is going to be alot more like a big slow boreing as **** foil as opposed to a nippy little powerful c kite

I saw a video where this Russian guy had a bar hanging in his basement or dungeon and he was practicing handle pass moves

Lambie said. take note kitesurfing instructors! Kozzie - could be a new side line for sumo wrestlers on their day of LOL - the boosting job that is!!

it takes most people ahwhile to learn a bkb on the old school bar in the palm tree on the beach simply adding a pulley to it wont cost to much even on the more deserted islands we could rig one up with the wheel of the top of a rusty old boat trailer that allways seems to be laying about near a kite shop. problem is all the village kids would be lifting eachother up 10 feet then dropping eachother hahaha but yeah... would certaintly make bat**** boreing sup days more intresting could just give the pulley end of rope to the local rabid beach dogs :D

when landing hard off the bar in a tree with board on you can really **** your knees but with this it could really cushion the blow etc

Any chance we could have that video in utube for us that don't have a facebook account, and don't intend getting one!

Looks like fun if you're in to old school freestyle and the wind hasn't been up for days and you're getting desperate.
I get that an adult can manage to pull a kid up in the air but how do they pull up the adults?
Doesn't work for anything unhooked obliviously, so personally I'd still prefer practicing in the cable park. If you're in Sydney and don't mind the drive to Penrith the winter season pass is only $99 for the whole winter, which is such a sweet deal. Bring a thick wettie though, that lake water is pretty chilly.
SkyZone in Alexandria (trampoline park) does "mega mondays", $10 for unlimited jumping and they rent out soft boards with straps as well. And they've got a foam pit!

I find those wakeparks use thick wooden logs as bars so after a couple of laps the forearms start to ache. Must be some ploy to get riders to fall off to get the queue moving. Must be dirt cheap to get pieces of log and tie ropes to them too.

if your finding your arms are getting worked after a couple laps on a wakeboard try useing a wakestyle kiteboard they tend to have less rocker and more flex and weigh less this loosely translates to more speed which means less pull on the arms from the cable. there is quite a few downsides with this but it will mean you can hang in there a bit longer then the super heavey and dragy wakeboards
