I was there at the event site when this went down. It was sick. The fact that he stuck the landing was even more impressive. What was hilarious is that when he was still 100+ feet up, a family friend of Jesse's says "oh he'll be fine now - he jumps higher than that from the water!".

Tight.
That video is definitely going viral.
This is probably safer than parasailing.
Never have to worry about your kite folding up on stalls!

safer than paragliding?!?!?! I hope you are being sarcastic. No redundancy whatsoever on a kite. They are not designed to fly.

He was wearing a front-mounted PG reserve though.
+1 on flying kites like paragliders - they're not designed for flight, but it's damn cool if you can pull it off!
