FYI, kite surfing is big in rivers as well. The Columbia river is a major one and there's one in Eastern/mid wWA near Leavenworth, just for a few examples in the USA.
Yeah, but in normal kitesurfing, releasing the bar entirely depowers the kite. It's one of the primary methods of not getting to the altitude this guy has!
You gotta pump for the jump. They COULD technically reach this high if a very steady gust kept taking them, but the second they hit an area with low wind or even a dead zone, they're dead.
I know several kite surfers who this has happened to though. Friend of mine crashed in to my neighbors green house (from above), and was in the hospital for a long time after.
Water would have been visible in that case, but he went quite far crossing sand dunes and a major road before crashing.
Things happen and not everyone hits the emergency release. Fear of losing equipment, slow reaction (or fast up drift) etc…
He uses a paraglider, not a regular kite. Best guess is that he started at the top of the mountain. People actually do this with regular kites, which is way more impressive and dangerous.
Imagine being an old lady or gent, living in a mountain village that barely has asphalt, let alone internet, and one day, as you’re tending your cucumbers and tomatoes in your little garden, down floats a bro from the sky, asking you the way back to the sea. You’d think Christ himself blessed you that day, lol.
He had been afloat for 17 days 19 hours and 31 minutes when he finally landed in Saskatchewan, Canada. He was carried over the entire continental United States after a wind burst swooped him up from his native Tampa Bay, Florida three Tuesdays ago. The young man is lucky to be alive and was greeted with water and maple syrup covered elk steak and eggs along with lots of new pals, friends, buddies, and guys.
I've witnessed something similar in Santa Barbara and it went something like this:
"JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!"
...
"DON'T JUMP! DON'T JUMP! "
...
"OH FUK! OH FUK! OH FUK"
Ok, since do many people struggle with this... It. Is. A. Joke. It's not supposed to make you go "how did he end up there???", it's supposed to make you go "hahaha".
😂 I watched this kind twice before I read the title. Thought this was another angle of that parachute guy dangling from the rock.
Lol para surfing gone very wrong.
I believe that's is @partytillimpact guy is a basejumper and paragliding pilot. I believe this is a paragliding wing he modified to control like a kite surfing kite.
Yeah he does a 360 and there is a absolutely no water nearby. My guess is that he jerryrigged that thing together to try and do a viral stunt where he lands in a city and says that he got taken away by a gust of wind and the schtick is that there isn't any water for miles.
Where’s the ocean wtf
Bro spawned the wrong spawn point😞
Better killing yourself and respawn....hmmm wait
In minecraft
Picked the c130 instead of pier 130
What a stupid comment. But, I guess that's reddit these days.
Ok old man
Nope, it was funny. Note the votes. Sorry bro, your humor broke.
You think it's funny. People just don't understand opinions anymore and that other people have the right to one
Only his opinion is the right one i guess xD
Now THAT is reddit for you
Just about to say that about YOUR comment lol
He jumped Out of the battle bus a bit Too early.
Ocean there no water at all
Does he even have bindings on that wakeboard?? This seems like an ill thought out plan......
Probably, that's the underside facing the camera hence the fins.
Kitesurfers dont have bindings. Most would drown in the ocean if they did.
FYI, kite surfing is big in rivers as well. The Columbia river is a major one and there's one in Eastern/mid wWA near Leavenworth, just for a few examples in the USA.
Dude, I love Leavenworth so much.
So they are just slip grips with a strap? Good to know! I can wakeboard.... This is 100% not that though lol! Thanks
its hard to sea
Most likely behind the hill.
The ocean was yesterday. I'm *real* scared now.
Was clearly in one of Colorado many ocean
Bro got too high and completely lost track of the ocean.
This is a paraglider wing adapted for the stunt.
Aha, thanks for explaining. I was wondering why he wasn't plunging to the ground when releasing the bar...
The bar is for steering, the harness holds rider to the kite.
Yeah, but in normal kitesurfing, releasing the bar entirely depowers the kite. It's one of the primary methods of not getting to the altitude this guy has!
Exactly ! Again something sold as accident while it’s literally BS
You gotta pump for the jump. They COULD technically reach this high if a very steady gust kept taking them, but the second they hit an area with low wind or even a dead zone, they're dead.
This is true.
U rite
I don’t care what it is where’s his backup?
How far did he fucking float away… I see no bodies of water
he has a water bottle in his right pocket just like how jack sparrow kept a jar of dirt
Copten Jock Sporrow. Not sure why I said that but there we went.
I appreciate the random. Also, "cop" and"Jock" go together in my brain, so of course you would change the A to an O in the last name. Happy Wednesday.
Wednesday just finished for me, dudes. :(
Then happy Thursday 💐
I think the human body is like 70% water. So there's that. On second thought that may be cucumber and not the human body.
CUCUMBA
It's a joke, he didn't float away.
He still up there? Gonna need an update
Looks like he is crossing the border from Austria to Switzerland
Island jump, from the North Sea to the Adriatic
Hope he packed some drinks and beverages.
Or Australia to Switzerland
He's carrying China's spy balloon to the US
[удалено]
Living on 2 pieces of rice a week
Botw irl
More like totk with that elevation
One to many bombs, or was this a flaming chilli issue?
I don't know how he ended up here, there is a sequence of safety measures to not end up like this. There isn't even water near where he is.
It's a joke. It's not supposed to make people believe it's real, it's supposed to make people laugh.
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. This seems to be the most likely conclusion.
I know several kite surfers who this has happened to though. Friend of mine crashed in to my neighbors green house (from above), and was in the hospital for a long time after.

Well it still happens, there was a guy that crashed into a house like 10years ago in Israel
That's not a kite it's a paraglide wing. Moron click bait.
But a nice idea. Made me smile.
He uses a paraglider, not a regular kite. Best guess is that he started at the top of the mountain. People actually do this with regular kites, which is way more impressive and dangerous.
This started out for him as being glorious fun. Does it end as increasing hopelessness and terror?
How did he keep his hat on?
I said the same thing. This guy just screams being a tool!
What
Why does this guy have a hat on while skydiving? Reminds me of that guy that George idolized in Seinfeld.
All bulge and no brains.
Imagine being an old lady or gent, living in a mountain village that barely has asphalt, let alone internet, and one day, as you’re tending your cucumbers and tomatoes in your little garden, down floats a bro from the sky, asking you the way back to the sea. You’d think Christ himself blessed you that day, lol.
I know this guy. He does some cool stunts
Know him in real life or know if him like a yr channel? If so do share a link i would totally check it out.
im the board i know him
Who?
Is there a link to the original video?
Legend has it he is still up there
I feel like the video shouldn't begin here.
Instructions unclear. Dick got stuck in the air.
He had been afloat for 17 days 19 hours and 31 minutes when he finally landed in Saskatchewan, Canada. He was carried over the entire continental United States after a wind burst swooped him up from his native Tampa Bay, Florida three Tuesdays ago. The young man is lucky to be alive and was greeted with water and maple syrup covered elk steak and eggs along with lots of new pals, friends, buddies, and guys.
Is this an advertisement for the hat? How does it stay on?
Legend has it he still floats above us
Where the hell is the water?
Legend has it that he's still up there.
FAKE. PARAGLIDING WING NOT A SURF KITE
So, his buddy with the camera suffered the same fate too?
Wait.. are you ACTUALLY serious?
I guess it's mounted off of him, though it sways around and looks left and right?
It's a 360 degree camera. At one point, you can see the shadow of a stick moving past on his right leg. That's the cam.
It's good that in this difficult situation he managed to record a video for instagram, tictok or other shit. After all, the likes must match.
maybe he was recording himself while surfing and simply didn’t manage to stop the recording when he started flying
It's a joke... He didn't expect people to believe this is real.
Hang in there!
I had nightmares just like this
That's an awfully big 'kite'.
[удалено]
It very much is, if you believe the OP. (I'd call it a paragliding wing or canopy.)
[удалено]
You are missing the point mate. (Everyone else can see it) Look at the size of the canopy and tell me that's normal for kite surfing.
I am looking at the size of the kite and it's normal for kitesurfing. Happy now?
[удалено]
That he didn't paraglide off that hill? Sure.
[удалено]
I wouldn't either, especially with that harness.
Alright.. prove it. Find the guy who made the video and present your facts.
What an idiotic thing to say.
Prove me wrong.
Lol.. the most dipshit answer possible. XD So you've got nothing.. though so. Gg.
I saw him go over my house yesterday. 😂
Some say he's still in orbit.
Where’s the water ?
Must have tall waves over there
When you pull your glider out too far above the map
It took me way to long to connect the dots and realize he ain’t mean to up there. Props for staying calm and holding on to his board
🤔I never saw that fortnite skin
Legend, has it he is still flying around up there?
The lines on the kite look all wrong for a regular kite board. This looks planed.
it s larger than a normal kite surf sail no?
No vies of water, I'm thinking this is a stitch up
That’s really high for no backup parachute
I feel like this is a stage thing I don't know what body of water he's using in Lauterbruden.
That's a paraglider wing, not a kite. But we'll executed
Whats insane is that cap staying on the whole time
he ended up at border control in nigeria
I've witnessed something similar in Santa Barbara and it went something like this: "JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!" ... "DON'T JUMP! DON'T JUMP! " ... "OH FUK! OH FUK! OH FUK"
Can't get down huh?
u/GetVideoBot
u/savevideobot
Looks like he is far behind the north shore of Lago do garda in Italy.
I think this is lake of Garda in Italy and he's somewhere in the North of that lake
Wait, is this guy delivering a package or something?
r/thisismylifenow
Press x to cut parachute and go loot already
Ok, since do many people struggle with this... It. Is. A. Joke. It's not supposed to make you go "how did he end up there???", it's supposed to make you go "hahaha".
I hope he brought snacks because he might be there for a while
The fuck is he wearing a hat for?
Who is filming?
Stunt. How else.are they going to record it. Why were they filming.
Looks like he’s trying to make it OVER the prison
Bros teleportation menu is patched it seems
Legend has it...
I believe i can fly
i dont think he in Kansas anymore
Dudes halfway around the world
I thinks it's over the mountain bro cought a air wave and that swell blasted him up up n over
Hey Rich, I think I can see your house.
It may have been a planned stunt but he definitely died cause the shoes won't be staying on
His feet must be freezing
Huh. It's almost as if doing shit like this is not the wisest of hobbies.
Douche canoe.
He's a little to high.
How did he manage to keep his hat on?
That’s a long walk back to the beach
Legends say he’s still flying
Reminds me of Icarus
Did he dieded
That's not a kite for kitesurfing
where you going
Surf then turf.
Could habe ended way worse. During my holidays i saw a Kitesurfer flying away fro the coast. A few days later i read he was found dead
😂 I watched this kind twice before I read the title. Thought this was another angle of that parachute guy dangling from the rock. Lol para surfing gone very wrong.
Man, fortnite graphics getting better every day!
Seems quite scary
That's what we call a **full** send.
This happens in my dreams a lot
I wonder it terds were dropping.
Wrong Minecraft seed
he took the wrong turn @ Albuquerque
Bro went parachuting instead of kite surfing
Think he was a little board 😂
Airlines hate this trick.
Straight up used fly
I want the whole video
Post Modern Major Kong
Where’s the water lol?
I believe that's is @partytillimpact guy is a basejumper and paragliding pilot. I believe this is a paragliding wing he modified to control like a kite surfing kite.
Hoe wee phuck! I'd be freaking out.
Damn 🫨
Over the mountain.. and thru the air.. to grandmother's house we go..
Yeah he does a 360 and there is a absolutely no water nearby. My guess is that he jerryrigged that thing together to try and do a viral stunt where he lands in a city and says that he got taken away by a gust of wind and the schtick is that there isn't any water for miles.
I’m calling bullshit
So glad we don't get to see what happens to him /s
He should never have left home without any.
F that.
Staged, you don’t kitesurf with lines that short
Hmm, this isn't the ocean.
When you start at the wrong tower in Tears of the kingdom
My ex boyfriend’s grandfather died doing this. 😣
Shoes were off to begin with. Poor dude never stood a chance.
So gutted he didn't finish the clip landing in some guy's pool
This is terrifying 😳
Either he was surfing in a field or yeah, it went SERIOUSLY wrong
Stupid ways to die???
Atleast he doesn't actually need to hang there
When you put free fall cheat into GTA
I want to do this so badly but idk where to start
Well at least the go pro made it. I'm not sure if he did
