Amazing Jump !!!

Can you believe that a man can jump like a dolphin ?
Performed with a monofin, this jump is realised by Mauricio Fernandez a finswimming champion.
This is an extract from the video "Finspirit in San Andres"
Music by Larnak'

[@twitch245]

you can see bubbles rising alongside him as he starts his ascent, and just before he surfaces. it's not sped up. this man is simply a beast.

[@krokodilk1136]

I think hes breathing out.

[@RSvidsincorporated]

Now do it on the moon

[@IMortage]

Wouldn't we love to see that. :/

[@AndrewMeyer]

I see what you did there.

[@ronnoc5278]

xkcd?

[@NoNameAtAll2]

@@ronnoc5278 "what if?"

[@urdnal]

That's pretty high... I suppose. I'm more impressed with his form and speed as he swims up tbh

[@zlenkodmd]

ikr

[@edcamp862]

sped up the video speed and held a tow monofilament with the hand over his head at "breach"

[@NurseOrysia1]

@@tremblence damn💀

[@Linohandy]

he is literally a merman, fast, strong, and graceful

[@fdynamics]

Looks like he did that *[sunglasses]* on porpoise...

[@nobody46820]

Eeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[@carlos0259774]

AMAZING !!! Your dolphin undulation is outstanding !!! What model of monofin do you have ??? I only have the FINIS foil monofin, but i don't know if it's strong enough to pull me out of the water like you did !!!

[@kenjiro2676]

carlos0259774 you just need speed and timing, from the looks of it at least

[@gryphern]

@@kenjiro2676 dude, no, breaching is hard AF!! It is a mix of hardware and athleticism and you can't breach with just any swimfin.

[@LadySnowfaerie]

Foil isn't enough for this, need way more surface area.

[@swordfishfins7842]

Someone should attempt this with a Swordfish monofin!

[@noahsmith613]

Anyone else done with their moon watered pinecones?

[@AnonYMouse-ky4sg]

Noah Smith It's too hard.

[@stevenneiman9789]

No, but the CIA says I'm closer to done than the Soviets.

[@scottgoblue]

To the moon, Alice!

[@AhmadFauziPurwandono]

Unbelievable, just like real dolphins, :P

[@mrcotton333]

The xkcd article initiated my journey here. This is ace and will be in my physics lessons from now!

[@Metally23]

Awesome!!.. I didn't know that was even possible!!

[@caligura]

Thank you for posting this!

[@judithgomez8058]

His body moves with such grase is is awsome

[@nyldek]

good pike dive and really lovely strong fast dolphin kick. love it!!!

[@Frederic4455]

Cela faisait un moment que je me demandais si c'était possible... Merci pour la vidéo !

[@imthepanda11]

That was cool... Loved how he didn't bend his knees! It looked really cool on how he swam.. looked like a mermaid

[@moonismo]

imthepanda11 you cannot bend your knees with a monofin, If you do bend your knees all the power goes to waste.

[@BrunoRodriguesBarbieri]

muito legal !!!! qual é o nome desta nadadeira ??? achei legal parabéns

[@Wearethegees]

Awesome!! Nice video!

[@Phill21994]

This is really amazing :-)

[@513LadyWinter]

Шикарно! Браво!

[@AncaDitiu]

Wooohoooo. "Me like it"! I've been wondering if that it s possible. Now I have my answer :) good job!

[@thevampirefrog06]

His poor ears.

[@Payl0ad]

+thevampirefrog06 I though the same thing... I would have had to decompress my ears at least two times going up and down.

[@SaiyanDom]

+thevampirefrog06 you can learn to equalize without pinching your nose :P

[@Aethuviel]

thevampirefrog06 I wonder, how do marine mammal trainers handle this? Killer whale trainers used to go down with the whale to a nine meter depth, then launch up again and be thrown in the air, several times a day. I know nothing about diving, so how might they have handled the pressure change?

[@Tempusverum]

earplugs?

[@garciagrcia]

Frida Nyberg The human body is actually fit to go to up to about 150 meters and suffer no harm, it is just a matter of technique and a bit of knowledge. If you want to know more about it, look up equalizing and you'll find the complete explanation of why your ears hurt and how to avoid it!

[@mathias2410]

Wow! That,s impressive!

[@jesttami]

Incredible!!! Bravo

[@swordfishfins7842]

Outstanding (or outswimming) jump!!

[@sanddragon99]

Wow!...... The First person I have ever seen who actually entirely cleared the water! Great use of HYPERFIN....I will now place an order for one of those and train even harder!

[@swordfishfins7842]

How's the training going?

[@fuzzyx2face]

That's awesome!!

[@Cloxxki]

So will the Lunocet be even better for breaching? Or just techier/$'er?

[@jimmyjamesa]

@Polishsebbe I was wondering that too. what's with the cut?

[@Oceanswimmr]

Awesome!!!

[@walterig33]

Really cool!

[@sayuribuijs3870]

I always wanted to do that as a kid!!! Now i know you can realy train that!

[@Aga-xu2qc]

I want it too:D

[@FinSpirit]

Yes ! ;) The world record in 50m apnea is 13.98 hehe really fast :) A russian swimmer realized this time during the last european finswimming championship. You have more videos of finswimming on the finspirit channel ;)

[@aarronjones64]

3.5 meters per second. About 7 miles per hour

[@inseplovebirds]

À "how to" Would be welcome, i'm planning to do it ! I live it !

[@BrettB246]

I don't care if it was accelerated underwater or not, he got mad air.

[@SingleBreath]

Superb..!!

[@bass-baritone]

Why did Randall Munroe send me here? Oh yeah - moonshot!

[@breedist]

Hey there. What is a brand that you used to produce such acceleration being under water?Thank you in advance.I found only a competitor mono fin,but yours look better.

[@bluegirl3037]

Dude breeched ! Awesome

[@oliviabuch9350]

Holy Crapoly! Love It! :)

[@crazylady1345]

Where did he get that from im looking for a mono fin and i seem not to find one

[@emmavanderhoek9050]

what brand monofin

[@jimmyjamesa]

That's great! Best I've seen yet! I swear I read somewhere online a while back they were offering a substantial cash prize for this. I've been attempting it and working on inventing a better fin for a while with my meager means in my spare time. I can't get quite as high as you, but close. About a foot less. Technically he's not at full breach. His feet haven't cleared by the time his center of gravity starts to drop. Still awesome, though!

[@hugodelauz]

Amazing!

[@BlackPrinceArmy]

You went do fast up there god Dang

[@56postoffice]

Skills! :)

[@Nerenight]

Oh my goodness! lol you looked like a floppy disk! awesome job!

[@hagetayabo6280]

[@user-hu1nl9uj3f]

[@florabesteniavangelynrenei6196]

make video like this again please cuz that its so amazing 😍😍

[@KailaniMermaid]

So cool! ^-^

[@enriquereyes3556]

And that is why I personally like using mono-fins more than bi-fins.

[@TritonsGuard]

I second that. It's like flying through the water.

[@alora1105]

wow that looks fun

[@Miranda909]

What type of mono fin do you use?

[@SuperElwira]

woooowww you are a fish! I love your moves.

[@thousandyearsofoppression7760]

Hi there, what stiffness is this blade?? Medium ??

[@insanemoveproduction]

that´s possible?

[@NashaBelle78]

Amazing

[@Olissipona]

How do you make it look so easy? I could never do that! :O

[@nudgeee80]

That's awesome, its dolphin man.

[@MillerCaster0]

That is the best butterfly technique i have ever seen.

[@lenazaubererlicht9918]

Nice.

[@SailorBarsoom]

COMPLETELY out of the water! Way to go.

[@PixelDee]

They see me jumpin', they hatin' xD

[@JoseHernandez-ij4yp]

what mono fin did he use to make this video?

[@timmyalben]

Fish name?

[@Majid1199]

very nice! lucky you

[@MegaMarc1978]

Wuou incredible,high velocit of delphin,its CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@splendid1000]

I'm also not saying that my idea is the only right idea. There are often times multiple different ads for new products like this, some showing the practical features, some showing the crazy features. Sometimes that works better, so in that case you are right. My idea was simply to combine them, mainly because of the non-mainstream and more documentary style feel this ad had. There are so many different elements and possibilities involved in advertising. It's never black and white.

[@ipauster]

AWESOME!! ;)

[@mjmdd23]

what type of monofin is he wearing? what is it called...I'm looking for one of my own but I am still browsing.

[@jloclaritpinez8066]

nice move!!

[@_anshin_anshin]

HELL YEAH!

[@FinSpirit]

Sure! Watch this video and you'll see how these guys are training :D

[@paisajessobredosruedas1421]

Muy bueno.

[@rbc744338]

Holy cow....... that is Aquaman.. ;-)

[@UniTea__]

crap that is amazing

[@MateoKupstysChica]

is he using some kind of divemask? or just swimming glasses? 'cause if the later is the case, how can he get so deep without his eyes pumping out?

[@Lemy1213]

What brand of monofin is that? It's really nice @_@ Is it custom?

[@jacksmithinson3556]

Anyone know the brand and model of this monofin?

[@nataliewarren5000]

Kurt Philips I know it's a finis monofin but I can't remember which one with out looking it up. I hope this helps

[@Sauergurke3]

Cool!!!

[@Ewong096]

Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.

[@Mahoody]

Nice fast forward :)

[@glywnniswells9480]

I would need to see this with my own eyes

[@4zstudio42]

Yeaaaah, that's something! now I get rid of my Cressi Gara, I want one of those ! ;) hehehe

[@TheEighthHorcrux8]

Hey who is the maker of your monofin???

[@tbooker2010]

nice, very nice

[@crewchill]

Wow, what stiffness is that fin?

[@AishawithanEye]

WHOA!!!!!!!!! You gotta try this in front of the dolphins!

[@PixelDee]

What monofin is that/Where did you get it from?

[@flyingflingers]

SWEET!!!!!!!

[@atromos]

Decompression sickness?

Wow!

[@mauroferk87]

cristolab . OK It was me who made the jump, we didi it in San Andre Island Colombia during the summer of 2009, i am a professional Finswimmer, and there is another attempts of doing this, i give you the links so you can see there is nothing fake jejeje.

[@alexandermason60]

Want to try

[@raphael_2d878]

I'm starting to love monophins
