today we are going to jump over this
massive ship look at this beautiful
thing we are all professional bigger
kiteboarders but we have never tried
something like this before first we are
going to try and jump the entire length
of the boat and then jump all the way
over it's definitely going to be a
challenge
we've got the ship all we need now is
lots of wind you get even close to the
height of the ship we're gonna need at
least 35 knots for it and that should
get us to 20
in order to go as big as possible we
need to use that strong wind to generate
maximum speed ready to jump and to show
you just how fast that can be we're in
this riff and we're gonna race Lassa so
we're gonna do a 300 meter race we have
the starting buoy upwind and then we're
gonna go race towards the Finish point
they're laying out right now with the
boat to be a good finish point
are you ready to race
so loss is already flying very windy day
here in Cape Town so let's race him
three two one let's go
accelerating so fast fake waves very
hard to maneuver here on the boat
this has a hard time
the captain is giving some extra product
loss is going well fast
his acceleration is just too much I
can't catch up what the captain is
saying is that the kiteboard is
accelerating way faster and acceleration
is really important because sometimes
you see the perfect wave to jump from
and you need to accelerate quick to get
there let's do it again
losers with our speed dialed in it's
time to try some jumps
that though looks massive way bigger
than I anticipated how thick is that
about 94 meters long and 25 meters tall
and those are exactly the kinds of
distances that we jump and trick at
bigger kiteboarding competitions like
Red Bull King of the air here in Cape
Town South Africa
are you ready and to show you just how
big that really is
[Music]
ready let's do it
[Music]
everybody
[Music]
correction
but we can still jump quite high and
quite far so let's see I think I'm gonna
try to jump over it just a little bit
just like just a tip you know
it might be
a big challenge I'm approaching
best idea
all right
it became clear that if we were wanting
to jump over this Tugboat we were going
to have to wait for the wind to pick up
[Music]
and then it happened
[Music]
crazy on it all right so we just jumped
to length and now we're gonna try and
jump the back of the ship really go over
it
the wind is actually picking up
my goes by pie right now
all right good takeoff
and we go
let's go
[Music]
you gotta take off
years ladies and Gentlemen let's see
what you're taking off
[Music]
at this point our mission was
interrupted by a surprise message over
the radio
[Music]
thank you very much but this is our
inbound puppy
all right so we just jumped the whole
business of the stock bones
if you like this one
container ship let's see how we measure
up we got that huge thing
and over three times the length of our
Tugboat and twice the height container
ships like this are a key part of the
king of the air scenery but we never get
the chance to fly this close yeah so
you're gonna push a little bit more and
close enough to make a good movie and
good pictures yeah
[Music]
this is
this vinegar is all about
foreign
[Music]
make sure to check out the Red Bull seat
