Man oh man, and I was thinking it was just photoshopped from a trampoline shot.  You're one brave and crazy dude!

JP already posted this a long time ago (to compete with Tucker), but incase any of you want to see it, and haven't yet...
http://oregonstate.edu/~careyjo/battle.wmv
It was at South Jetty back in January, on a day that we had planned to ride. Due to the psychotic wind (~45-55kts) we didn't even try putting up the 7 and 9's, but thankfully we brought the B3 along! It's not everyday that I'm getting lifted off the ground with a 3 meter trainer kite straight over head...

Trainers are a blast. Spent $99 on my Slingshot B2, it was the first kiteboarding gear I ever bought. Worth every penny. Durable, fun (especially on those nukers when its too windy to ride), and excellent practice for the real thing.
Some people say that its not really a "trainer" which is true in that it won't teach you everything you need to know, but learning to fly one of these low and fast with your eyes closed will come in handy later on.

In the gusts, I'm pretty sure you'd be solid on the water today at Floras... with a B3, or something! I think I'd still be strugglin' out there on a Fuel 5.

| Yaaaaaaay! I hope it's not like this over spring break... |

| So I was browsing over iKitesurf to see if anyone was selling anything cool and came across a few foils... One 1 meter Wasp for $69, two B3's for $200 each, and a B6 for $180. All used Slingy's of course!
