[@mosesmundall]

If you look closely you’ll notice he is moving forward with the glider behind him. This means he is getting towed. Then as he decends he goes the opposite direction to the tow that took him up. You would not be able to go this high without a tether. As a paragliding pilot and beginner kite surfer I would be scared out of my mind to have my centre of gravity that far from the wing for that long. Props to this guy, balls of steel and great wing control. Glad it ended well. Edit: I have learned more about the stability of the kite, although limited control compared to paragliders you can keep it over head, however the gear is not made or rated for this kind of stunt. None the less this guys massive balls managed to pull him back down to earth safely.

[@superliegebeest544]

U also see a line to the boat

[@plebpunk]

Paragliders can hill launch (most prefered) or winch launched. This is so dangerous, a tow/winch licence is required! With a week link in the tow line, and an emergency pair of cable croppers. The danger lies in getting into a powered turn into the ground. Sea in this case. If an accelerated turn starts, without a let off of power, the glider/kite is accelerated into a turn into the ground/sea. My experience is only with paragliders, so i might be completely wrong in seeing the same liklyhood in kitesurfing

[@BJCulpepper]

@@plebpunk They are not designed the same. PPC chute is for flying [as a wing], these are kites - which is why it is called kite surfing.. As far as chute stability it is like instead of having a 500sqft PPC chute you fly a 150sqft chute. Although it is far less lift, it would be more stable and less prone to collapse [noting that having a chute too large is prone to collapse].

[@BJCulpepper]

Two different technologies - however having the CG close to a parachute wing is less stable. For a PPC it is only bad because the farther you are away the longer it takes for power inputs to affect the chute. You feel less pendulum with the longer risers which is why you see it in kite surfing. In Kite surfing the wing can go around in circles which creates an autorotation type lift which is not effective with short risers.

Dude that was sick! Forget all the haters on here and their criticism, that took some serious skill to land safely, as well as balls of steel! I have a suggestion for an epic follow up. It's something I'm planning on doing myself, but just in case God has other plans, I'll share it with you: Connect the kite and the tow line to the same quick release. Make sure the release is sufficiently rated for the extra "weight" created by the tow. Using a separate, small section of line, connect the tow line to the kite line near where both lines meet by the quick release, so that when the quick release is pulled, your harness disconnects from both the tow line and the kite, but the tow line and kite remain connected to each other (so the boat can retrieve the kite). Wear a packed ram parachute with oversized pilot chute like used for BASE jumping, and when you reach sufficient altitude, hit the quick release and toss your pilot chute! BASE jumping from a kite!!! As far as I know, it's never been done before. It would be totally badass, and is actually probably safer than trying to land that kite like you did! Mad respect on that btw. These mfers hating have no idea just how difficult that was. I'd trust a kite for gaining the altitude, but no freaking way I'd try to land one from that height! Hats off to you brother

This is extremely dangerous. check at 0:06. His harness is just a belt wrapped loosely around his back with no leg straps. I've seen people slip out of their harness when doing jumps and lose their kite, harness and all. The red mechanism on the kite lines at chest height is a quick release. Kiters hit their quick release accidentally all the time. The gear is designed to "de-power and toss away" in an emergency.

[@kidi1232]

In paragliding, towing requires specialized towing equipement, a licensed tower, and radio contact between the pilot and the tower. The speed, tension and angle of the rope need to be monitored constantly both by the pilot and the tower. The angle of attack also needs to be actively kept in check by the pilot. Why? Because towing involves huge forces, the glider pulls you up as the rope pulls you down. This is especially true when the rope is being reeled up by a winch (instead of pulled by a car or a boat), but also true in this case. Towing also makes the glider fly with unusual mechanics, which can lead to stalls, collapses and other failure modes. A kite is not meant to be flown that way. The gear (harness, lines) is not meant to withstand those forces, and I doubt anyone involved trained for this. They were just winging it and got lucky no one got hurt. That being said- I actually think that the long lines on the kite reduced the forces involved, so long as the surfer was able to stabalize any swinging action. The kite being inflatable allowed it to quickly recover from stalls and "collapses". I also think the surfer had a good enough understanding of the mechanics involved, and kept the angle of attack low. Please don't ever try this. Get a paraglider or a speedflying wing. Edit: Just in case you were wondering: every single paraglider line is rated to hold up to 60-80kg iirc, the weakest link is the carabiners connecting the harness to the glider, and they are rated to hold up to 400kg (20kn * 2 carabiners).

The funny thing is that if we are talking about towing the kite is far more stable and Easy, you just need to make the kite stay over your head. With paragliding small variation can lead to a severe front collapse, with the kite wont never happen. Kites nowadays are really safe, they are made to jump over 30 meters High and you have to consider that jumping requires another level of power and tension

[@ryanpenrod1859]

This seems INCREDIBLY dangerous--what happens if you lose control of your kite while you're up that high? You fall to your death. It's not like it's a parachute, those things could definitely collapse if there were sudden sever wind shear, which might be more likely up higher. I'm sure he knew this before doing it, but I don't think a lot of viewers of this video do.

Just remember that if you let go when you are high enough, and the lanyard cannot support your weight and breaks, you will die or suffer permanent disability upon impact on the water surface. 60+m is the ballpark figure for certain death unless you land perfectly vertically feet first, muscles braced and joints locked.

[@chrisdraughn5941]

Nice choice of music for this video!

[@foesfly3047]

It looks to me like a thermo-convectional-air-current (soaring pilots call them thermals) must have formed from the atoll, upwind of the kite-surfer; he ‘caught it’ and was carried up in this rising, warmer air, until it dissipated or drifted inland, past him. I’ve flown up to more than 17,000 feet by such thermals, when hang gliding in Arizona USA but such lifting air rarely gets a chance to form over the sea, due to cool sea breeze and the cooling affect of so much water. If this video isn’t some very well executed trickery, this man just enjoyed a spectacular and very rare rare experience and I’m jealous. Stay Awesome Brother!

It’s better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than being in the air wishing you were on the ground.

I saw a picture of a kite surfer, then I decided to check out prices online, then I saw fun ads and it’s getting me pumped! Now I found this video and my desire is entirely gone.

[@Wolfdings]

I remember a video of a snowkiter who struggled hard in strong upwinds and flew at least 150m high without parasailing. I'm not sure how the video ended and cannot find it either to rewatch - but your video makes me way less anxious because it seems more controlled :D

[@whatsupbudbud]

Yeah, I saw that one as well. Crazy stuff.

[@therealyoda6172]

I saw a video of some dude who was inside one of those inflatable balls which you get strapped in and rolled around. The dude rolled straight off the damn mountain must have been a wild last few moments of life for that guy. B

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Wow...what an adrenaline rush that would be! 🙂👍

[@swerne01]

This video bridges the gap between parasailing and kitesurfing. I wonder if you could design a harness system that would give you the same control and security as a parasail once you're up. And I wonder what the differences in the actual wing shape and size are.

[@king_kiff3969]

That decent was sketchy AF, well done but lucky too, a little more wind and that could have gone badly.

[@Jannemann23]

Good trust in equipment and very scary... It still bothers me though, that he didn't land properly on the board... If I were him it would bother me, and it seemed he didn't even trv 🙂

[@BentzProductions]

He was focused on hovering all the way down after his lines got twisted and he lost a little bit of orientation.

[@Jannemann23]

@@BentzProductions The lines are not twistet. He already started off with crossed lines... so on purpose.. maybe to slow down the steering in the air (?)

[@BentzProductions]

He didn’t started with crossed lines… It happened on the way down, and he lost orientation so he just kept moving the kite left and right. He was afraid to accidentally push the kite down under him(you see only sky in this situation, so you can accidentally enter a mega loop or send the kite under). He feeling the power of the kite he managed to keep it over his head.

[@californiaplant-basedeater2761]

Perfect music! Hilarious. He looked like someone that didn't know what he was doing and just went flying up in the air.

I saw this happen to someone in Florida. The wind was very aggressive and he got slammed straight into the ground. I can’t imagine he survived but I never heard anything of it after the ambulance left. It was in fort pierce around 2017ish if anyone else may have heard about it

[@OouzyYew452]

If he was anywhere near as high as the dude in this video then there's a very low chance that guy made it

[@Itsfoist]

@@OouzyYew452 I’m not sure that he was this high but he was definitely high enough that when I saw it happened I just immediately assumed he was gone. I was probably 16 years old though so I ran away scared with one of my friends once we saw a crowd gather.
