  • Jon Durand Hang Gliding / Sky Surfing a rare meteorological cloud phenomenon called a Morning Glory. It is like surfing a tsunami or tidal wave in the sky. It's great for doing loops and flying fast. The Glider is towed in the Sky by a small ultra lite aircraft. Also called aerotow hang gliding. RedBull and Nikon Camera sponsored. It was filmed by Mark Watson near Burketown Barramundi Australia. For more info visit

    Really happy that somebody really used a glider to fly (or glide) above a morning glory... when Visual novels meets reality

    What was the altitude and wind speed? the loops are incredible. What glider is this?
    Love the sound of the wind.
    I've heard Australia is one of the best places to glide.
    Nicely done. Soft landing after a masterclass of hang-gliding.
    Take care, be safe. See you in the sky.

    @jxs22 To a hang glider pilot what you hear after the music stops is music ... there is nothing like the sound of the wind and the Variometer peeping ... you just have to do it to understand.

    Phenomenal! Truly amazing flying and film. The biggest problem for anyone watching the sport is difficulty seeing the action and perspective because the air is invisible of course. As awesome as it was, if someone could add a "Visual" in post production. Somehow showing the 'tsunami of air' that is coming at the pilot. Even if it was a subtle animation, as long as it was accurate, would be amazing.
    Just my 2 cents worth. Great job all around. Kw

    Is this like orographic lift when you get lenticular clouds forming off mountains only bigger? I mean they go in long lines for miles. And look amazing also. I see them here sometimes forming off the mountains.

      God, my Model, DON'T FORCE ENYONE to belive Him !
      True Love could NOT be obtained by force !
      God, It's my personal belief, is interested in obtaining every human's interest, trust and finally love (CERTAINLY NOT sexual intercourse !)!
      "free and unhindered you choose to love Me ?" ask God me and my answer is YES !
      The same I belive He want to ask everybody on this planet before let human madness to destroy everything !
      IT'S OUR FREE CHOICE !
      ONLY SATAN and his friends FORCE EVERYBODY TO OBEY , WORSHIP AND SERVE them, else they make you suffer and destroy you, if they can !
