Welcome, you probably have heard about this site from me, someone else, or just saw it posted somewhere and started wondering what kitejumping was. Kitejumping is the sport of using large kites (otherwise known as power kites, traction kites, or foils) to launch yourself into the air. It is better understood when seen (above), rather than explained. I made all of the kites I jump with, although similar kites can be purchased online from many different companies. The main kite I use is 5 square meters, and took around 3-4 months to make. I can be seen flying with it in the newer movies on the movies page. The jump above was with one of my older kites using a much more dangerous jumping style. It is from 2004, when I jumped around 50-60 feet forward in under 2 seconds (video is playing at 15fps).
If this is your first time here, watch the movies, or look at the pictures to get a better idea of the sport. If you have gone kitejumping before or want to talk about it, join the forums...
