Have these guys never had a line break when they're riding on water? That snow doesn't look particularly soft.

i doubt they'd run standard lines
if that Cabs on 25m lines, then I'm guessing he's well over 50m up
that's 'do a little poo' territory
yeah that's pretty crazy, but he's probably on a hill so the perspective might be a bit out?
He is way high for sure but it looks like the lens is distorting the perspective as well.
That Len10 video off the mountain. He's recorded it off his helmet. Any links to that clip as well please? That would have given me a hard one doing it myself! As Darth Vader once said - "... most impressive"... hhhoooahhhhh

If he has a bar end come off, which has happened to me = one dead dude.
Don't go out further than you can swim, and, don't go up further than you can drop? Fark. Hope he's got good gear.
Got a buddy that does some of this crazy sh it. He uses 800kg breaking strain line and a reserve shoot.
Mind you that guy looks like he doesn't have a reserve on.

A false sense of security?
I've seen 40m discussed as a minimum deployment height for a reserve CHUTE. The G-man can chime in.
i know those guys also use a climbing harness as reserve for the spreader bar. They must have Dakine harnesses...
I snowkite a bit in the winter here. Know a bunch of norwegian guys that do this, using the up-draught from the mountain face and get mega high and hang there for ages. From what I know its all on standard lines and bars, crazy bastards.
repost from a few years ago, but seeing as you guys started it...
If you are interested in getting into snow kiting over the aussie winter, PM me... awesome fun.
should be "Wowza is that a *cloud* down there"

I think a chute might be useful for this one.
He even took his board with him, now that is wishful thinking
