to see the full video.

the image is a screen shot from the video but this guy is 400m up in the air kiting with a bunch of other paragliders on his 12m kite!!!

What a legend

On the Air Evolution kite of course which have probably got the most stable foil in the world an active pop control system which won't collapse like most other foils when you sheet in. Not a good thing at 400m up.

well he doesn't exactly stay up there with the para gliders, but he still gets respect for being a nutter.

Better him than me putting his life in the hands of that very badly packed "reserve" parachute

I too was disappointed not to see a kite loop or bar pass during the flight...
