Incredible Lifting Experience
In this video, the guy is kiteboarding on the water. Normally when jumping,
the max is about 50'. He gets caught in a thermal and ends up a few hundred feet up. Quite remarkable that he survived. http://www.kiteschool.net/mary_poppins.wmv Jim Vincent N483SZ illspam

Wow...
I had heard of the event... it was in Hawaii at a beach near Dillingham glider port. I always thoutht it was a tale... but it looks like it is on film. In the back ground you can see the ridge that the gliders use. Steve On 13 Oct 2004 04:21:16 GMT, illspam (Jim Vincent) wrote: In this video, the guy is kiteboarding on the water.
