Balancing act - or optical illusion ?

Rubbish foto, but couldn't resist this showoff, couldn't even keep his kite in the picture!   Kona winds were kicking up again down in the Bay, but as I got there the guy with the black kite who does fabulous jumps was just coming in, followed by a few others.  Most of the other kites were playing out at the entrance channel (too far away to record more than their kite colours if I was lucky).  This guy was doing some leaps (of faith !), but my camera can't keep up with "consecutive shots", so "as they say", you take what you can get!   and say thank you !
