Yeah the comment at the end was great "do you think anybody in the world had as much fun as we did today?"

I remember thinking that a few times in my life, now I know these guys probably did have more fun than me Wink

Those guys are pushing the envelope for sure, but I liked to one comment about how the birds are just laughing at them.

Imagine how much fun pelicans have surfing endless waves with an occasional flap for lift before dropping into the next one and gliding for another mile across some manicured perfect swell...

Cool Cool Cool

ya thats cool but would be way cooler if you actually had wings that could give you some real lift. basically a human ultralight. you could soar for hours!
check back in a few years if you want one Laughing

Being able to soar and thermal for hours on end is what lured me to Paragliding.

Having done half of what was in that film and being an aspiring Kiter - I'd" say you are having more fun Phil. Plus when you add in being married - way more fun.

Base dose not really go with Dogs, Jobs or even skydiving - much less Hope, love and websites. Plus you can be out of shape and still jump - though not track.

I remember Dwain Weston's girl Karen Sako saying that she got the same sensation from Rock Climbing, so as long as you are stoked - you're Stoked.
