The Thrills of Hang Gliding

Hang gliding can be pictured as a unique experience, maybe similar to the flight of an eagle in the skies. It is considered an air sport in which a pilot flies an unmotorized foot-launchable aircraft, very light, called a hang glider or Delta plane.

Mark Visser’s Night Surfing or How to Conquer a 30-foot Wave in Maui

Mark Visser is known for his extreme “job”, one that implies hunting down and riding some of the biggest waves on the planet. The  wave-rider is said to be able to hold his breath underwater for more than six minutes. On January 20, 2011, Mark Visser did the impossible: at 2:00 am local time, he caught a 30-feet wave near Jaws Beach in Maui: “Riding in complete darkness meant I had to go off feeling,” says Visser. “I had to zone out from how you normally ride and just be a part of the wave. I am so pumped to achieve something that no one thought possible and that I was told couldn’t be done.” Equipment? A helicopter, a jet ski, a buoyancy vest tricked out with LED lights, and a surfboard  laced with submarine lighting built for NASA. Check out the video to see Mark’s impressions and spectacular wave taming. – The Outside Blog via The Sly Oyster
