i hit a floater jump as well.. it was right at the beginning of the big winds.. on a 12m waroo. pulled a couple HUGE jumps... i felt like i was 20 feet up but im sure 10 max. (i'll just say 20 tho..)

one in particular, got a gust mid jump and it pushed me straight up and i think i was in the air, without exaggeration, twice as long as any i have ever hit.

i'm still very much a novice, but having a day like that allows you to refine tequinique. i was doing smaller, very consistent jumps ... then crash landing the big ones when i just wanted to fly.

late afternoon i started learning backrolls w/o sending the kite and am now able to get completely around but fall short on getting my board back to the water.. rotation is there, just need to learn when to extened my legs back. i was so damn tiried to keep trying... next time.
