I'd be interested to know what kind of kite he used for this, it's got
to be damn stable, and generate a lot of lift to carry the camera. It's
also got to be predictable enough that you aren't going to dunk the
camera. At first I thought it likely to be a rokaku, but they're just no
fun getting in the air; the only other thing would be a big(ish) delta,
but he lets it out so steady, I wouldn't have thought a delta, carrying
weight would be up to the job.

Fascinating stuff, and a great way of filming yourself sailing at minmal
cost.

ooohh! Perhaps it wasn't a kite, perhaps it was a bunch of helium
ballooms tied together!

I don't dispute that you can, but I think those images were all smoke
and mirrors

Now this guy: http://darwinawards.com/stupid/stupid1998-11.html is one
of the few to make it into the Darwin Awards and be alive to talk about
it. *He* knows how to do this stuff!
