Kite to BASE through towing up would be lame, as is Nick's stunt. Kite to BASE has already been done from a balloon years ago using a Naish kite.

Much more cool would be BASE to kite. I would like to see that.

What would be really cool is get a guy in a wingsuit, add some bridles and kite lines, and use him as a kite in about 40 knots. I'd like to see that.

Question: does using your mate as a kite change the right of way rules? I mean am i kitting him or is he parasailing me? If I'm the kite is there a expectation that I can self land? Lastly who puts the sand ontop?

They're doing over 100mph in a wingsuit and still dropping like a brick. You'd need a bit more than 40 knots.

I was up for a WOO - with this..
Setting the scene, moderate wind at start - 12M and 6'surf board.. Basically I had an itch to scratch - some wind got to try
By Kilometer 3 it was getting tough wind dropping 10-14 knots
so - walk or flog the dog?? Car at the 7.5 km mark - straight line - surf could do some damage.
and then a miracle happened for 2+ kms check it out Just flying 120M peek awesome..

Of course I got back to base just fine - but who wouldn't with this sort of lift
I will try a bit harder next time - go for 250m+
Thought I should post this on-line then it would become fact not just a bug..
Merry Xmas hope U get your sleigh cranked too!!
