That's abnormally long. Did he get it up?

You wouldn't want to get a tangle in those lines.

Not sure what happened with video. But yes he rode with it. Wasn't very successful, but imagine the size of the power zone!

A couple years ago someone did the 200m lines thing in the gorge on a Rally I think, it didn't go very well.

I think if you are going to try and use long lines for light winds you should at least get a light weight kite.
