Hey guys.
I am not new to kite surfing, but have started exploring more and more about jumps and the "load and pop".
It's great that I can now LnP (ooh that sounded politically ominous!), but the heights I am getting are around the 15 to 20foot range, as comparing myself to the height of the trees on the beach (maybe 3 to 4m tall tea trees).
Are those sort of heights "normal" especially on moderate winds around 15knots for a rider in the high 70kg mark?
What sort of height/lift should I be aiming at? Higher than the trees? I would love to, but are there issues with kite control up there that change the game slightly?
Thanks in advance.

High enough to put a grin on your face is all that matters, really

throw in a loop, you will be smiling then!!

As you get used to it, you gotta go higher and higher to get the grins. Like a drug, innit?

Okkkayyy... So who's got a boat and a 900foot long tow rope?

In 15kts, if your getting that high, id be happy with that!
