Mega-Loop
Toast: Style Under Pressure
If you have ever parked a chair on the really nuking days in front of the Pro Pool, you may have seen one of Maui's biggest jumpers: Ryan Toaspern aka Toast. Toast is hard to miss, with the big jumps with mega-loops, backroll kiteloops and many other super technical tricks is a local standout. Today, Toast was telling us about his new toy. The Shadow Box: Shadowbox, its got a GPS, accelerometer and has a few more sensors in it. So, it records all the data and then you can import it into google Earth or look through it on the software that comes with it. Now you can analyze the height, speed and a number of other things when you kite. In his last session, he got 53.5 feet high. He then told me he pulled 7.5 G's on one of his mega-loops. His next goal is 60 feet. So, now you can call out all your buddies B.S. on high they really got. If you are interested in trying this devise come down and I will direct you to him.
