Jumping Over A MASSIVE Ship

We challenged three of the world's best big air kite surfers to jump over a giant boat. To do so they have to be able to jump the length of a football field, kiteboard faster than 45mph and find the perfect wave to launch from 🌊
Special thanks to the iconic South African Tug Boat S.A. Amandla & the impressive CMA CGM cargo ship ALMAVIVA for letting us kitesurf so close to them 🤙

Those guys are super annoying to listen to. Cool to see them jump but get rid of the personal cameras.

that was insane

[@TechMike10]

Kiteboarding is so much fun and I totally recommend. But these dudes take it to a whole different level!

[@redbull]

they've got incredible skills 🙌

[@MichaelMantion]

KB is not for most people. Its like surfing while controlling a sale boat with rocket boosters. I will say the advent of the 5th line decades ago made learning a lot easier. I learned when their was only 4 lines.

[@TechMike10]

@@MichaelMantion there’s definitely a big learning curve. Took me awhile to be totally confident in it. But the feeling of going upwind on glass water and no noise is priceless.

@@redbull I don't know, something like: Protagonist escaping an evil militia by jumping over one of their ships. Or the protagonist takes the perfect shot in mid air into the ships bridge to stop the antagonist. Let your imagination run free.

Was hoping they’ll jump off the big one. Such a wasted potential with 50m high jumps

[@JV-ll1cu]

Yep. What was even the point of showing it? Kind of anticlimatic ending

[@helicart]

As an old surfer and windsurfer, I hat tip these guys. I can imagine this is even better than windsurfing, and maybe 80% of my surfing days.

[@Caleres]

Kitesurfing is more fun than both of those sports, easily

[@allaboutwaves]

@@Caleresdepends on who you ask. I do all three regularly and my favorite is windsurfing.

humans are fascinating creatures. we are truly the kings of the species. some dumb fish is watching from the water like "i thought these guys could only go on land?"

[@theanarchonazbolinquisition]

When they said they were going to jump the length first and then across I was like "why would jumping across be more difficult" cuz it seemed like they were going to jump OVER the length of the boat not just the distance that was the boats length lol

More jumping to the side of these boats than over them!

[@SpencerBliven]

Right? I was confused why they were starting by jumping "the long way". I wish they would explain the trick from the start so im not disappointed. The side-to-side was impressive enough.

[@nelsondln]

You can make it happen cheap if you're patient enough to collect used gear. You definitely need lessons though. My roommate was an instructor so I got super lucky.

[@devilsadvocate1338]

@@nelsondln will never happen

[@nelsondln]

@@devilsadvocate1338 I seriously thought that too. It was totally inaccessible to me. My good friend loved kiting and I was stoked for him but I knew I'd never afford it. Then I had a new roommate move in who used to be an instructor. And another friends boss gave my friend an amazing deal on his equipment because the guy wanted to stick to windsurfing, so my friend and I split the cost, 350 each for two kites, bar, pump, and a board. My new roommate gave us lessons, and just like that it was happening. Hands down the most fun thing I've ever done. Its changed my life. From meeting cool people, to wanting to be in better shape. There is really cheap old gear that will work. Most kiters have money so they just buy new gear, and the used market is huge and lots of cheap stuff if you look around.
