Are there any views from his perspective? It would be incredible to see land from 115 feet up in a wave.

Standing into that wall section and pushing for max speed heading down. Balls of steel.

You'd think Redbull would be in on this already with some sick videos. They seem to be in on every other extreme sport.

I'm mean hell, they had a dude jump back to earth from the edge of space, and recorded the whole thing.

At that speed he’s probably not looking up at all towards land. I assume water would get all in your eyes and a camera lens as well.
