Nice Landsurfing Video (Oct 2010) These French guys take a full sailing kite, strap on an all-terrain skateboard and pull aerial stunts in an open field. Hmm, let's try jumping the basketball hoop. Or how about we get air, drop our board, slip into another one our buddy is holding, and then nail a landing... Footage is edited from an aerial camera and a ground based camera to provide the full experience. Happy landings!
