Skysurfing

Just being in the sky adds an extremity factor to the sport. In this sport, the surfer free falls from a plane with a surfer board attached to him. He performs acrobatic stunts or simply surfs during the fall. The sport was made famous in 1987 in the movie “Hibernator”. French skydiver Joël Cruciani made the first free fall. Since then the sport has seen much popularity with better equipments. In competitions participants are judged on the surfing style plus the video quality. Every surfer needs to video the fall to prove his credibility. Due to less instructors and large number of deaths the sport has lost the sheen now.
