Great vid

I like the data the Shadow creates,

That could open up the wave crew to the joys of GPS and some great jump contests.

Anyone know what the software is?

Amazing.
Those boards look dangerous when they come down without the sailor though!
Wouldn't like to be in the flight path...

Bring it on - let's get some of these and have a jump-off in WA!

You need somewhere with a good run up - South Passage? Corro?

I reckon I have had my Manta 49 at least 1/4 as high as Boujmaa

you can get real long run ups off point danger in vic, before ya hit the big surf at the back

also flinders in a SE is great for long runs and big airs

end of the inlet at sandy point would be another cool spot i think too..

Point leo in over mast height waves, i have seen guys jump at some unreal heights like thease guys in this video

VIC WAVE SAIL SERIES, WE WANT A COMP LIKE THIS...PLEASE DUDES...

So would a backloop, followed by a forward loop just counter each other out...and be classed as just...a 'jump'?

It's called a black shot! Totally insane - Bouj has been trying them for a few years now - don't think he's actually ever sailed away from one - landings look really really bad on the ankles too. Totally mad move - he's good to watch

The Shadowbox is pretty cool. On the software you can actually change the graphic of the sail and board to whatever you want. But they aren't cheap - US$499 for a unit.
