Strange place to put a tent.

Agree wrt the tent. Colours look like jumper no6 but it looks like too much fabric for a single wingsuit

On another note:

That wingsuit nonsense - it doesn't feel like all that long since Jeb Corliss introduced me to the concept and then had an almighty accident, which must put people off. Yet with that number of people all doing it one after the other, do they sell wingsuits in Argos now or something? Mortality, it's just an abstract concept...

To this day, the sound of Jeb's friend hitting the bridge in the documentary has stayed with me..

I do wonder about YouTube's role in all of this. Go back 10 or 12 years and I could name the 10 or 12 guys who'd have the Cajones to surf the really big waves around the world - now there's 40 or 50 guys and girls in the line-up every time Nazare is working...

Many, of course, sponsored by Red Bull but all with you tube and Instragram accounts to feed

I wasn't aware of that one - it's from 2003 and the description on Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwain_Weston ) makes me not want to see it.

The accident I was thinking of was Jeb's own crash in 2012 off Table Mountain - again, described on his Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Corliss

I saw the documentary that Dinny is talking about. You don't see anything as IIRC Jeb is in the lead but that noise...

The Dwain Weston crash is on YouTube (I am not adding a link). Two angles are shown - there is nothing gory visible but yeah - the noise is pretty haunting.

Time for a happier post methinks.

Well that's cheery

FAKE!

I saw a poster promoting it.

'Kkk' is also how the Portuguese write that they're laughing, like we would write 'Ha ha ha'.
