Taking air at Takapuna - David Robertson's big jump - see the video!

by Richard Gladwell and Tim Scullin on 13 Mar 2009
Auckland was beset with gale force winds on 6 March. yesterday. it wasn't great for the Boat Show but great for the kiteboarders off Takapuna Beach, North Shore City, New Zealand.

We took these shots off Takapuna Beach including this spectacular air jump by top windsurfer, David Robertson. David did this not once but at least twice that we saw. Sight his position on the land to get an idea of the distance David travelled and height achieved.

And yes he did a neat landing and stayed on his feet, ready to go around and do the same again.

Update:

Now on YouTube Tim Scullin has produced a video of David's jumps that day, plus some other antics. It's a must see!
