Extreme Kiting in Minnesota

Extreme Kiting.jpg

This is a picture of one of the most extreme, fit guys I know.
Vojta Cervenka (40 yr old club) from the Minneapolis, MN area, is going H-U-G-E in this photo!! I've never seen someone so high before over a (frozen) lake! And to think he was giving Paul and myself tips on jumping last year at the US Kite Freeze....

WOW smiley

Just to add to this, I received this photo today from Vojta. Thanks!!
Paul: that looks like his 20m Naish.

Still absolutely crazy!!

Ya ya Schwaby smiley

Just to let you know how HUGE that jump is, the lines from his kite to him are probably 30m long. That would put him around 100' in the air!!!!

I'm just about to get my cross country skis on - I might try a little "jumpin" myself :) smiley

Hard to believe he is so high in the air! WOW!!

It looks a great sport--as long as the wind didn't suddenly die!

Yep, it's a great sport mom. The most fun sport I've ever tried. I really wanna try it on water in the summertime too.
