17 November. New UK record: 21.7m according to Woo device. Amazing considering what he went through in February.

Skip to 1:15 if you're 'time poor'. Otherwise, enjoy




Edit: He went out and broke his own record again just yesterday, with 22.3m recorded this time..

I noticed that he didn't even have to come back past 12 o'clock to get that height. Damn stable kite

I always thought to get the crazy heights you would be looping the kite, if that's the record and he hasn't looped at all, what do you use megaloops to do??
