OMG DUDE! Tuck is that a real shot or is it photoshopped? It looks like he is like 50 feet up, must have been some splash!
Glad he's okay!
Killer shots!

Why did you let go of the bar? I think the proper technique is
to spiral it down. full left (or right) rudder.
Not saying that it ain't some insanely good shit. but it would
be cool to fly it in next time.
I think a small kite lower and at speed so you can turn it -
swoop around (Like those guys going downhill on skis with a
3m Foil) could be fun.
Real short lines and towing from the bar instead of your body
might be the right setup. Plus a deadman release that flags
the kite if you let go. Probably want to wear an impact vest.

| he was leashed to the rope with the release right there. i dont think he really wanted to float down anyways. as far as a smaller kite jason and irv were going about top speed on the jetski to get him up. i doubt anything smaller would work.

I don't recall Neil doing anything but knocking the wind out of himself however their was Venezuela female ‘carolin?!?”, same time frame, who put herself in a wheel chair for life ‘man lifting’

| I thought that Neil had a chicken loop break after getting towed way up, and ended up with lots of consolation prizes - i.e. numerous pins in bones, rehab, time off the water, etc, etc, etc
