-------------------------------------
We tend to travel a lot together, Murphy and I, and we both like to check out new places and kite new spots. Gokova’s been on our “to do” list for a long time now and when we got the chance to visit it with Jovi Travel we were really anxious to check out the spot and conditions there, especially since we’ve heard a lot about it before from our friends.
The spot itself is kinda like the famed Gorge but without all the civilization surrounding it. A large bay surrounded by high hills on both sides. There is a nearby river which connects to the spot and little town nearby but that’s about it. The surrounding hills provide a nice venturi effect with light, steady winds which, combined with the thermal winds, which start to kick in around noon, tend to get stronger during the day.
Naturally, as soon as Murphy got down to the spot he started looking at the hills. Being the seasoned snowkiter that he is, sights like that only make his mind drift towards new “cliff projects”. In his case it’s usually a spur of the moment thing, but this time we accidently bumped into some local paragliders who gave us the ins and outs of the spot. So after checking out the possible places for take off and landing we decided to double check the gear, grab something to eat, get a good night’s sleep and prepare for the following day.
On the day of the jump we decided to wait a bit till the wind got a bit stronger; I kitted Murphy out with my GoPro; he took his kitetracker, rigged up the 14m Ozone C4 and we headed towards the highest of the local cliffs. It was a bit tricky to set up at first on the, rocky, bushy, steep hillside but with some help from the curious locals we soon got everything ready. Without unnecessary goodbye talks Murph jumped of the cliff and was soon gliding steadily towards the spot’s beach. The whole “flight” took him a little under 9 minutes and, as we learned from the kitetracker, it was a descent of 909 meters. His jump caused quite a commotion at the local kite station and on his landing a small crew of our friends and locals welcomed him.
All in all everything went very smooth thanks to the steady winds and Murphy’s know how. It was the first time I was a part of his famed “cliff projects” but for me it was definitely one for the books… And as we’re getting to books, we’ll see what Mr Guiness has to say about this SLE kite jump.

That was amazing but totally crazy. For anyone thinking of doing this themselves, kites for kitesurfing AREN'T made for parasailing or flying generally, they are too unstable. Totally different things. One little puff of wind in the wrong direction and you're finished. This guy looks like he researched the weather very well, and was very experienced even when flying backwards. But he even mentions hitting two different winds and I think he was incredibly lucky it went in his favour.

[@lucaa4480]

Wow you are a genius

[@blitzcrank1459]

Actually I don't really think that they are too unstable. Look at a Soft Kite that Paragliders all are, they crash quite a few times and just fold together in Gusts. This can't happen with tube kites. It's merely that the lines are not made for it and you don't have any safety in case you'd fall. I sometimes fly soft kites when kiteboarding, just horrible Things. One wrong steering Action and they fold down and build a big undefinable lump :D :D Soft kites are just way lighter so you can use thermic winds a lot better...

[@adrenalineaddiction]

Great clips! Keep it up!

[@recklezzeater8a862]

it seems they dont love ya 5 years ago

[@ChristSpiritoftheSun]

You are a legend. Thank you for all you do. God bless and stay safe!

[@KadirYarasli]

I felt proud. I do paragliding. I did this hill (take-off) with my hands, digging the bushes, breaking the stones and we put some sand. so we fly from here. I love this this take-off and Gökova. Great shampion Marek Murphy Zach did unbelievable thing. His wing is half of our wing. Congratulations, great master of kite-surf.

[@loraxlive3995]

Za każdym razem jak to oglądam to Murphy mnie zadziwia. Idealne podsumowanie na koniec " Nie próbujcie tego w domu " :)

[@peteandalie]

Dude, why didn't you have a board and continue on the water? That would have been fully sick.

[@neilbeaton9498]

It was probably complicated enough jumping from that cliff and catching the wind the right way. Would have been a lot more difficult with a board

[@wojtezy1]

OK. ....Na początek nauczysz mnie czegoś prostszego.... Szacun z Norwegii...

[@tstrrtstrr745]

Very good, these kite seem to have decent glide rate, this needs to be explored further.

[@electromarcin5659]

Nieźle wreszcie Polaka słychać i widać. Myślałem o swojej żołnierskiej pelerynie i czy by przetrwała lot 😃

[@beppe9638]

Well done, nice wind condition, you had a parachute as backup, no kite loop, but how could the landing be so smoothe it is a mystery to me. Congratulation from a kiter.

[@Zecadadega]

OMG YOU ARE MY HERO!!! congratulations for the record!!

[@ffrreeddyy123456]

Wow, that’s so risky. His chuckles after softly stepping down to the ground is hilariously surreal.

[@would_have..]

You guys are really AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@adlapl]

Maniak :) Super!

[@christopherstewart3066]

Funny disclaimer/warning ... ever heard of paragliding or speed flying? 14m, that's a huge wing. Nice to see you learned about meteo-wind and ground-wind. Finally, with a paraglider, you would not be flying backwards, my friend.

[@successbuilder27]

I love this video, I want to do a course and start Kiting!

[@staniswrs5584]

Super let ale co to mas prosím tě za jazyk?

[@CharlieCZ]

excelent, you have thumbs up.. but only 4 lines.... hope you have a rescue chute :)

[@recituli]

Dobrze, że nie straciłeś "zimnej krwi" :) .

W domu ciężko to próbować:) szacun

[@Zosia_Kie]

Polak potrafi ! pełen podziw ;)

[@MaxDubovsky]

Super nice flight ))) Well done )))

[@JagdtigerPL]

Filmik robi wrażenie....co to za podkład muzyczny?

[@rggc2008]

Hi, did you have a parchute just in case the kite fabric would rip ??

[@fut_bucker6966]

How much would a power kite to lift you off the ground cost. I’m looking for the cheapest alternative. I weigh about 90lb

[@6puspo6]

AWSOME!

[@AgnieszkaJanowska]

Serdeczne dzieki za inspiracje!

[@JamesTingley222]

Great job.

[@xaero212]

***** Jacku, chyba najlepsze Twoje wideo do tej pory. Krotkie, a robi niesamowite wrazenie. Wyobrazam sobie siebie po takim skoku. Chyba ze stresu puscilbym uchwyt. Koles ma swietny styl. Zazdroszcze osobom takim jak on, ze znalezli czas, odwage i pieniadze aby trenowac takie skoki. Tak po prostu!

[@gp419]

Cześć, Świetny filmik, widzę że sponsoring dopisywał! Nie wiem czy latasz na glajtach ??? ale ten latawiec i 14 m2 to lekki szok dla glajciarza, no chyba żebym ważył ze 45 kg... Zastanawiam sie przede wszystkim jaką masz prędkość opadania, podejrzewam że taką samą jak na zapasie paralotniowym? Sterowanie jakieś masz? czy lecisz gdzie cie zawieje? Sterówki to pewnie ta belka która trzymasz? No i jak sie ma biegunowa prędkości do tego cacka, speeda nie masz, termika cie zabiera?

[@ajkalwa1]

Robota zrobiona.;]

[@sebastianraczek7584]

No to było dobre jestem w szoku

[@highgunfirearms2294]

ok I have a question. What is the difference between a parafoil kite and a parachute such as a speed wing? I'm new to this sport so.

[@seragzwait2895]

what a crazy jump that's cool , i still trying doing water start :D

[@OnthewaytoEuu]

Szacun! Amen. - G.

[@kokosowo3788]

wow this is real! :) what can i say... rozjebales system stary hehe

[@hercion]

interesting experiment ! but i would be more interested in seeing how a tubekite glides on short lines in paraglider mode ! i made some small initial tests: raw footage TubeGlider Ozone Zephyr

[@pawelbu4672]

what is a brand of the kite which he used?

[@andanh8]

So Crazy!

[@yosphinx88]

extreme snowkite flight by Christophe Grange

[@paulinaszlaga2788]

Niesamowite mega

[@LaurenMartins]

Ordinary minds would say "cool dangerous stuff" but other minds would think, putting aside the risk he took, he is actually doing just the paragliding thing with a long lined collapse prof air filled glider. The future of safer collapse proof paragliders happening right in front of our eyes.

[@hercion]

well well, we will see how "collapse proof" tubekites really are. contrary to popular belief collapses on paragliders are a safety feature, absorbing bad stuff caused by strong thermal turbulences and dispensing kinetic energy.. the guy in the video was just lucky... no proper harness, no rescue chute, no double lines.. said that, i am very curious how that disciple of gliding with tubekites will evolve - but please if anyone plays "test pilot", then why not carry a rescue chute and use a proper harness ?

[@LaurenMartins]

"paragliding collapse is safety" repeated religiously like a vitriol since 1980. We are all doomed, literally. Paraglider collapse is the number 1 causes of death and serious injuries in paragliding. Because hanggliders don't collapse, paragliders should collapse? That's the biggest nonsense I've heard. The pilot will not loop or fall into the canopy of long lined collapse proof paragliders. Period. No technology that drives the development of collapse proof paragliders should be neglected.

[@mgrzemow]

Lauren Martins Hanggliders tumble...

[@thebillboss1]

I know I'm kind of late to the party, but how do you expect paragliders to be so portable and easy to prepare? I mean the thing with hang gliders is you aren't really getting anywhere far with them if you don't have a car. We don't really hear about hang gliding hike and fly do we? And sure, the kite is inflatable, but do you really want to be walking around everywhere with a pump to inflate your paraglider on every takeoff, which would also take ages? And from a safety point of view, if you somehow managed to get a cravate on a rigid kite I doubt you'd be able to fix it. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be more than a couple of meters above water if I'm hanging off of one of those things...

[@mrJeorge90]

Ale kocur :)

[@MegaDzolero]

W Chorwacji na półwyspie Peljesac jest dobre miejsce do takiego skoku z Góry Ilija

[@thorineichenschild2692]

Sick shit man, respekt to you and you guys

[@friedischutte5637]

Nice. Which song is it?

[@mikehunt5017]

That. was. FUCKING. AWESOME

[@davidniquot6423]

Now you drop the bar ... what happen ?

[@kiteprojectca]

RESPECT!

[@karenaudreytodd]

OK so this is parasailing using a slightly undersized parasail with a board on your feet. OK, cool, but it's still basically parasailing. I know people who do this with skis attached but as I point out to them and they agree: "OK, cool, but it's still basically parasailing"... Now wingsuiting and landing on water with a board, that would be interesting. Since somebody has already done a wingsuit waterlanding (skipped like a stone, but it worked) using a board would be really cool. That transition from horizontal forward flight to standing on the board would be the crux...

[@cam691988]

You obviously know fuck all about kitesurfing or the kites.... What this fella did is nothing like parasailing because kitesurfing kites are not designed to make people fly, also notice how he is going backwards?

[@boyloboyle5327]

yeah, its a power kite and its totally diff to a parachute - be that a skydive rig or a paragliding rig... what he just done was fuckin crazy...

[@PatrikUno]

RESPECT! zajebiste murphy

[@GG-bv4ou]

why would you need a kite leash though?

[@dejanradivojevic3863]

are you polish? svaka cast

[@ezwuhehe8517]

[@DK07x]

Woooow, zajebiste gościu!!! :D

[@SenatorBlutarsky]

Sweet...!

[@skalskirobert]

try paragliding!

[@markuslebt]

2:55 preparation for this jump.

[@malarioraj]

Name of the song, please?

[@malarioraj]

***** Thank you very much :)

[@rowill2968]

You know what would've been really cool? If you launched with a board strapped to your feet and instead of landing on the ground you landed in the water and rode off. Just saying ;)

[@jcmana]

Mufe, ty si neuvěřitelný blázen!

[@alexdarco66]

Name of the song pls . Thnx

[@invikkk]

kozak!

[@adrianobrasil522]

Seemed like an uneasy launch just before he took off....

[@mostfaabdalkhader3026]

نق.طة نت

[@roovexer]

Longest jump ever! ....you are crazy, man ....but the world would be just too slow if there were no people pushing the envelope

[@memederoglu913]

Sick bastard :)

[@tomfuller.]

Dont try this at home. Kitesurfing kites are not designed for this and this could of gone horribly wrong. Kitesurfing kites on water are incredibly safe and easy to fly and at the very least it shows how easy to fly Ozone Kites are!

[@flydylan_9725]

Lol, this is funny as im a paraglider pilot and fly from bigger hills all the time, no hate as I'm a kite surfer as well

[@indreas4272]

i hate when somebody say ,,you cant do that''

[@malik_srz]

la barre est pas conssu pour sa !!!!!💪👈

What is the name of music ?

[@MrTheozdemir]

thank you.

[@SuperLudjak]

Duuuuddddeeeeeeee

[@KiteteamRu]

What is your next plan? :)

[@66Airborne]

This is not cool but dangerous, if you fly in strong turbulences and you glider collapses, it could twist easily and you don`t even have a reserve. If you want to fly then use a paraglide.

[@coopw101]

going to take a week to unpucker my ahole. thanks bud.

[@Sidfaztudo]

Show

[@DerFliegenHasser]

People do that every day. It's called paragliding. And it you have a samll wing it's called speedflying.

[@sergereitman2560]

People don't do it everyday! It wasn't a wing, the guy in the video used a SLE kite which is meant to be used for kite surfing, not jumping off the cliffs! So props to him!

[@kemobobo6955]

You should also credit the music you used in the video.

Grow up man. I just wanted to know what the soundtrack was because it's a good song.
