These days any time I see a link promising a windsurfer getting prodigious altitude, it seem to bring me to a photo of Phillip Köster. A few years ago I posted a clip ("Phillip Koester Gets Hospital Air") that blew my mind. I imagine 20 foot jumps of my own from time to time (I imagine them) I have no interest at all in getting what young Philip gets here, even if I could land in gelato. The jumper whose air I find most appealing (and survivable) remains Robby, in these clips for example.
Still, huge props to Phillip!
(The photo was found unattributed in the Australian forum Seabreeze, where someone wrote "give this guy a pilot's license so he doesn't violate air space!")
