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
