Today we're going to do something that has never been done before. I'm going to jump over an air plane! As a kite surfer, I've jumped over many things, like people. Land. boats and even whales. But jumping over a plane? Nobody has ever done that before. That will be a world's first. To make this a success, everything needs to line up perfectly. We're going to try and make the plane fly as slow as possible, straight into the wind. going to be looking for the perfect breaking waves that I'm going to use as a kicker and as it gets steeper
and steeper. It becomes a perfect ramp for me. Just like this. Like directly over Luke's cockpit. Right there. Yes, yes, yes. That's exactly what we're looking for. Last is definitely going big enough, so that's good. Looks like you're having a lot of fun, huh? I'm having a lot of fun, yeah. How you doing up there, Luke? Yeah, I can see you clearly. So we do the test run when you fly closer to the beach. OK, we'll do a proper one coming in. Luke is an absolutely incredible pilot with great precision flying skills. He has even landed his plane. on the helipad.
And after you took me for a spin I knew he'd be the man to make this happen. Here he comes dude, here he is, here he is The aircraft is very light and thanks to a massive wing, we've got a really big wing on it with those massive flaps that you can see there behind me. That's going to make me fly really slow and make this project possible. Lasse you can check my timing I can see a kicker building up Luke, this is magic. Flying the aircraft so slow, the instruments, they don't work. You really have to fly the aircraft on the field.
You're flying so low! I have to tell you, it's a hard work. I don't know if you can hear the engine. Off, on, off, on, full power, no power, like. It's not easy, but I'm comfortable with it. Let me know when you're ready, so I'll run in very slowly. You got it, dude. Let's go. Good luck. Okay. Am I good to go? I'm ready when you are, Luke. OK, I think I have a nice one building up.
Get me slowly. Okay, moving. Woo! Sorry. Yeah, I was too fast coming in. Let's go back. Let's try again When he came close, that was scary, huh? Attempt number two where they're gonna try to line everything up It's scary, because if Lasse. It goes a little bit too fast to distance up Luke and Lasse is going to be too big and it's going to be very hard for Lasse to clear the plane. But if Lasse goes too slow, then at takeoff, Luke and Lasse will collide, which is
something we do not want. Getting a little nervous here. Can you spot a kicker? I hope this one is building up looks like, yeah. There he goes again, there he goes again. Timing needs to be spot on. Looks like I have one that's building up. And I'm, yeah, two meters, two meters Ah, sorry, I'm. We're too far, we're too far, sorry. Okay, aborting. It didn't line up perfectly and. Lasse and Luke. Luckily made the right call to just bail. Lasse needs to find that perfect wave. to take off from. But the tricky part is that the waves sometimes break a little closer
to the beach. and sometimes the wave break a little further out. So to get the perfect line up. I'm sure it's gonna take a couple tries. Coming again. It's here, it's under me now. Thank you. No, I don't think so. No, no, no. Oh, it's f***ing gone. Yeah, the kicker wasn't. Yes, right. This was a strange one. The one I followed, it just disappeared. There's no way for Lasse to take off from. If you hit the wave at. The exact perfect angle. That's gonna give you that extra height to jump over Luke's plane. Can you spot a kicker? I don't see a good kicker yet rising. There's
no shame in turning around and waiting for the next set. I think I've got one. Nice one, building up. Yeah, that should be a good one. Slowly All right, there they go. There's a good wave on the outside. I didn't already know I hope you don't get left. This one was still on the left road in central. No, I'm not happy yet. Was it that really? Ah, better. Pretty better. Huh? I went over the side of the wing, I think.
Not directly, no. We got to do better. Okay. You don't get me nervous again. Everything needs to line up. There needs to be a perfect gust. There needs to be a perfect wave. And Luke needs to be in the perfect position. Do you want me to be, what, over the wave or two meters behind? Yeah, a little bit closer to me. Okay, I will have my wing strut over the ridge of the wave. Yeah, that's perfect. There's one building. I'm turning towards it. I'm ready when you are, Luke. Okay, I have one. I think it's going to come together. Luke's going slow and low, and Lasse's gonna go high and fast.
this one for you good Yeah, the second one. It looks good, it looks good. There's a perfect kicker. Go! That's a yes! That was directly overhead. That was a good one. Yee -haw! Oh I had you right in front of the prop, I was like, if he does a job we have a mincemeat for dinner.
World's first jumped over an airplane while kitesurfing.
