Looks insane. Would love to try it but honestly don't have the balls to even consider it.

Well done guys. Great video and a good way to start the day at work.

That is sick, but you really wouldnt like to do in a line,pully etc you would just get smashed. Looks like the guys spend more time gliding than kiting. Maby they should try a paraglider you would have a lot more controll and safety plus be able to go a lot higher. faster etc.

But anyway good on you for pushing the limits. Looks good.

I double that, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not practice ridge soaring with your kite, it is extremely dangerous as you do not have a protective harness like paragliders and our kites are too unstable in any turbulent air or thermal activity which might come from the ocean.

This is the safe way of enjoying ridge soaring and you have two options;
Paragliders
Hang Gliders;

Paragliding sucks ! - Kitegliding is soooooo much better - like a suspended swing !

Ha, is there a kite school that teaches this one ??

Although, maybe a good way to reduce some of the ever growing kitesurfing population
