This is just amazing.
From You Tube:
Danger man Miles Daisher casts a bizarre image paddling across the sky – 13,000 feet up in a KAYAK. The daredevil has turned extreme sport skydiving on its head after deciding to jump out of a plane in equipment normally used only in water – giving birth to ‘skyaking’.
YES!!!!
I want to do that too!!!
Hi El Guapo,
Why am I not surprised. π
It does look like fun, and you just have to admire that landing. π
The perfect landing is even more impressive. Be cool if he actually used a paddle with wider ends to steer the thing midair…
Yes it would of been fun to see a paddle, would it of been hard to hang onto though? Maybe a bit dangerous if it flew out of your hands when pulling the cord.
Crazy! Another video I’m sure my daredevil son will love…
Hi She’s a Maineiac,
Oh I am sure he would, it is amazing these new things that people keep thinking up. π
Fantastic – makes kite-surfing look decidedly tame!
Hi David,
I agree, it looks like a lot of fun. π
Nice landing! i think the next step is to land that thing in white water!
Hi lolabees,
Now that would be exciting. π
My husband (a pilot), says, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.”
Hi Laurie,
He would be spot on with that statement. π
Wild! Wow!
Hi Naomi,
Wild is right. π
Haha! What’ll they think of next? That’s super cool. It almost made me laugh when I was watching it because it’s such a strange combination and yet it works beautifully.
Hi A Gripping Life,
It did work beautifully, you certainly couldn’t of got a better landing. π
Ok, I won’t ever be doing either thing, but it was fun to watch. How about Kayaking on a parachute now? That would be short and fun to watch.
Hi Scott,
Great idea, you could fly over the falls instead of going down them. π
Insanity abounds. I love it!
Hi susielindau,
I agree, but a lot of fun to watch. π
One of those amazing sights that I never want to perform myself!
Hi This Sydney Life,
I’m with you there. π
Nooo way i’d do that not even for a million or even a trillion dollars :-).
Hi Windsmoke,
I also like my feet firmly on the ground. π
Oh my goodness!! What will people think of next with extreme sports?!?! It makes the activities I prefer, like walking, hiking, fishing and other lower key activities seem like I’m slouched in a recliner.
Hi,
I am always amazed at some of the extreme sports, and I am also one that feels like I’m slouched in a recliner at times. π
Not certain if I’d want to try it but I love the word ‘skyaking’.
Hi writingfeemail,
It’s a wonderful word they came up with for this new extreme sport, I totally agree. π
Well,,,I guess I can’t do that….someone else has already done it…so it’s been ruined for me…(Thank God)
Hi zannyro,
It is a shame you didn’t get to it first, you were very
luckyunlucky. πWow … who would have thunk it! Great landing …. and agree, I too am not surprised that Guapo is ready for it!
Hi Frank,
I thought it was wonderful how he came down in the water and zoomed across onto land, brilliant. π
I can easily picture Guapo in the kayak. π
What a complete and utter maniac, but I admire his courage and skills. WOAAAHHH!!!!
Hi Selma,
I would never have the courage to do anything like this, but I have always admired the people that do, what a ride. π
It was a beautiful video …and the landing was terrific. I might be repeating myself, but how the heck do people come up with these bizarre ideas?! π
Hi reb,
I agree, the landing was amazing, I loved it, so perfect. It does make you wonder how they come up with some of these ideas, and to think up a name for it as well, just astonishing. π
I loved the landing!
Hi AA,
You couldn’t ask for a better one, beautiful to watch. π
I think I stick to have both feet’s on the ground – amazing little video *smile
Hi viveka,
Oh yes I can relate. π
Sorry, I’ve been missing you. I had a book come out and ate up time, but I tried to always catch your Friday Funnies even if I didn’t comment. Sometimes your quick videos gave me the lift I needed on hard days. Thanks for all the effort you put into your blog. Here’s a hug. Barb
Hi Barb,
Congrats on the book, that is great. π
Thank You for kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. π
Since the dawn of time, mankind has been making huge leaps into the unknown. Sometimes they make the gap and seal the deal making our species the eventual owners of the planet.
On the other hand, the leaps that didnt quite make the grade leave the fossil bodies we still find today. There alongside these brave daredevils stood a bloke that looks a lot like me…saying “Why!”..
Hi tempo,
You have said that so well, love the comment. π
Why? Because it has never been done before. π
Totally insane! And why am I not surprised that I first hear about this on your site? π
Hi Madhu,
Incredible to watch wasn’t it, it went all so well and I’m more than happy to hear it’s the first time you have seen it. π
Sorry I haven’t been around for a while … tried to run some white water, and it took us quite a while to recover the aeroplane! π
Hi Keith,
That doesn’t sound too good, I hope you are going to do a post on the adventure, I would love to hear more. π
Hi mags, everyday I learn a new thing from your post, one has to be very courageous to do all this.
Hi Indira,
Yes very courageous, there is no way I would do anything like this. π
You know I would like to though I am shivering inside.
I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to even leave the plane. π
One more thing please, his hands are free so how is he sticking with what is that called?
It looks like he is well strapped in, you can just make out the straps in the front and back they are nearly the same colour as his jacket, but they are there. π
Brilliant idea although I think it’s mainly meant for the daredevils and the brave of heart. Its a thrilling spectacle though. Cool post!
Yikes! That’s crazy stuff. Perfect landing. π
Hi adinparadise,
It is incredible. π
oohhhh gosh, I don’t know if I could be so brave!
Hi The Squishy Monster,
I know I can’t be that brave, but I do admire him for giving it a go. π
Insane fun!
Hi Gilly Gee,
It certainly looks that way. π
Well that is crazy.
Hi robincoyle,
Yes, but fun to watch. π
That’s funny I’m not surprised that El Guapo would want to do this. :+) Looks like a new sport is created. It must be scary and fun for the first person that has an idea to try somthing completly new.
Hi starlaschat,
I think it would be wonderful to basically invent a new sport and be the first to do it, especially such an extreme sport, and name the sport as well. π
This guy is nuts! Nuts, with a death wish! So many things could have gone wrong.
Hi Lady Marilyn,
Oh yes there was definitely a danger of something going wrong.
Haha! You’re right. The landing’s awesome.
Hi theloveculture,
It was a beautiful landing really perfect, this new sport did work well for them. π
People come up with some crazy ideas! I would’ve landed in the water and started paddling! π
Hi Michael,
It was a crazy idea, but what a landing, I agree it would of been great to have seen the guy paddling after. π
FANTASTIC cool landing!! Wonder if I can do that in my 20 foot Seakayak?
Hi jfossbakk,
You don’t know until you try. π
I agree a great landing, who would of thought this was even possible.
Thank You for visiting and taking the time to comment.
