Perched in the clouds, balancing on the wind between the realms of the absurd and the glorious? yes - the Skysurfer is destined for such greatness in the lore of human flight! It takes courage, grace and agility to balance on a skyboard and surf through the sky. Thereby spinning & twisting the body around all axes while strapped to a board. Plus hurtling towards the ground at an average speed of 1
30 miles per hour before opening the parachute! The result: Skysurf, which is one of the most extreme sports disciplines. Skysurfing (unofficially) started in 1984 when Skydivers in California experimented jumping with boogie boards. Thereby they lay flat on the boards while jumped from a plane. Later, Skydivers screw down their shoes to skateboards (without wheels) and tried to fly on it. One common misconception about Skysurf is that it looks like riding a wake-board or snowboard!? But the truth is, it is a whole different sport. Once airborne, the surfers use complex aerodynamics to perform their tricks & moves. Skysurfing is much closer to skydiving than to any kind of surfing or other board sport. It needs a lot of skills to handle the skyboard properly and to fly in the 3rd dimension.
