Anyone able to give me some pointers to achieve these great heights?

There's hardly any wind too!?!! (and no updrafts by cliffs)

WTF ..... surely Something has to be causing the updraft. It's awesome how he can go left and right without going down wind

No updraft is necessary when you’ve tied yourself to an anchor point............

looks like fun, whats he tied to though?
Perhaps one of those wombat anchors in the sand would do the trick.
