Interesting to see this amazing feat which Pal Takats safely performed more than once at Palo Buque, Chile last Nov/Dec. Of personal interest, I briefly show up flying in the vid at around :59 seconds! Don't blink....
Needless to say, there was plenty of wind that day! For visual reference, launch is a bit above sea level and the mountain tops are around 2900'. He'd kite up and launch from the dune at around 1800' then rapidly glide down without a hint of pendulum sway - and later was tearing up some paraglider accro, too. What a show!

Cool..but I think I'll stick with paraglider for now
