Wow...
I had heard of the event... it was in Hawaii at a beach near
Dillingham glider port. I always thoutht it was a tale... but it looks
like it is on film. In the back ground you can see the ridge that the
gliders use.

In this video, the guy is kiteboarding on the water. Normally when jumping,
the max is about 50'. He gets caught in a thermal and ends up a few hundred
feet up. Quite remarkable that he survived.
