Agreed. Seriously terrifying when I see the chute flap around during those flips. |

Funny, guess it is all about perspective...
Wonder how many people see you guys all out kiteboarding and label you as crazy, daredevils, and/or nuts. With the safety precautions, backup systems, and progression of training, I feel more comfortable flying ACRO than I do driving my car.
Nothing related to Russian Roulette here. It is very calculated and safety mitigated.
Still, looks crazy eh?

check, check & check
maybe something with a fixed wing is a better fit - you seem to be punishing that poor kite _________________ Go Deep!
