I know, it's not exactly a water sport story, but when it comes to do with flying a kite - Let me share with you a real flying feeling!!

We all had at least one time a dream that we are flying... Spreading wings like a bird and watch the world below us from far high.

We did it.
We spread our wings and flew high high where the clouds are dancing and the sun is shining... High at the sky! Parachuting, also known as sky diving, was an amazing experience for both of us.

Not far from Bordeaux, once sunny morning of September, we climbed on a tiny plane and flew up to 3,600 meter above the great Pylat Dune (Arcachon).

The sky was endless around us and the more we we flew up, the smaller everything became below us... We are used to kitesurfing, another version of flying, where the blue of mother nature's water surrounds us... Now it was beautiful endless sky...

Thierry jumped first. The speed was 200 kmh and the feeling was incredible!! I jumped last and felt the adrenaline all over my body! It was an amazing experience! After 45 seconds of fast falling, the tandem that was attached to me, opened the huge parachute and we landed slowly and safety on the ground.

It was amazing!!!

A MUST adventure for everyone!
