yea theres a few best one is kitescoop http://www.kitescoop.com/ which is the wakestyle one and the best the others just the international kiteforum http://www.kiteforum.com/ but that one sucks just a bunch of knewbs talking smack. NS is better than either though as alot more people use it. IMO

love kiteboarding. only been a few times but enough to get the hang of it. the first few days are so frustrating but the learning curve is huge and quick. nothing beats the feeling

I would be scared to accidentally let go when at the top of your jump...
that waster doesn't look to deep....

Your actually strapped in to a pretty hefty harness, unless your riding unhooked, which means your probably pretty good at the sport already.

if you let go of the bar your kite drops but you're harnessed into the kite. all the bar does is steer and let more/less air into the kite. pressure on the bar will lift you up more because it forces air into your kite, so to jump you cut and then pull the bar in
