KITEBOARD ISLAND LEAP
Jason Slezak would like to execute the largest land gap ever attempted, ramp to ramp, on a kiteboard. He will approach the takeoff ramp at a high rate of speed in order to achieve the required height (approx. 30-40 feet) and distance necessary to clear an entire island, complete with trees and animals, all while flying over a camera to document this incredible feat. Jason will then have to land on a down ramp on the opposite side of the island. Adding to the difficulty of this stunt, Jason will have to estimate his landing as he will not be able to view the other side of the island from the takeoff ramp. Many factors such as wind speed and direction, wave size, his speed and position must work in unison for this stunt to be a success. The stunt requires the extraordinary ability to combine skills from a variety of disciplines, such as wakeboarding, surfing, sailing and flying, into one spectacular, unique act.
