The                         of Kite-boarding has developed many disciplines, from racing, free-style and surfing. The most original aspect has always been just boosting big air. This is still one of the most         

                           disciplines. Today we're               to Maui for the Naish blackbox kite high-jumping competition, the question is: Who's going to catch the                         ?

In                           we used to jump                                  and now in Kitting it's just a whole new realm, you're like twice as high as they would be                               and I come down way softer, and that was rush for me, when I                              was I just                           high off the water and it's a big rush!

If you compare high-jumping today to, like five or six years ago, it’s a huge difference because today, a kite is                            . It’s very safe and way more user-friendly and                                to push themselves and see how high they can go, so average riders jump between the twenty-five to more advanced riders                                  foot and then                       the sixty and close to seventy feet.

  Des Walsh: For Kiting, high-jumping,like                               a lot of speed and a lot of power in your kite and what you want to do is head in one direction and send your Kite back the other direction as you’re hitting a piece of chopper wave, and some of                       seventy-three feet, plus for some guys and the distance is super-far.
