Question: where did he take off from and who in their right mind would set for a forward at that point:
Hmm.. you pose two distinct questions in that statement that must be answered separately.
Question 1: where did he take off from?
Answer 1:
He took off from Awesome land, drove down to Awesome beach, got on his Awesome board rigged with a 5.7 Awesome Sail. He then hit that Awesome wave which sent him flying into the now Awesome atmosphere....
Question 2: Who would set for a forward at that point?
Answer 2:
Someone who is Awesome!
Original question 'Does this require a pilots license?'
Answer: Yes - but you can issue the license to yourself when you are this awesome.
^^and that is why he wouldnt have any chance of not having a crash landing.
A bit like doing jumps on a dirt bike into a creek, you can do some fancy moves, but can never land them.
Simple physics, big heavy boats will always fall out of the sky.
^^ huh? Are you referring to the photo? He is on windsurfboard not in a boat. Two very different water craft.
and parachute down gently with legs lifted, like riding the invisible air-lavatory
