If You Haven’t Heard Of Wingboarding You Need To Watch This [Video]

Remember TaleSpin? Well this aviation enthusiast wanted to recreate the extreme sport seen in the cartoon in real life.

Think wakeboarding, tow-surfing, wingsuit-madness and snowboarding all mixed into one. In the sky. Behind a plane. Well, that’s what Aaron Wypyszynski is currently testing.

Inspired by the cartoon TaleSpin, where the lil’ bear gets towed by a cargo plane, Aaron’s design is only in Phase 2 of a three step process. Soon, a real person will take the reigns.

Once approved, the board will sell for around $10 000 a pop, made available to anyone just looking for a new rush. I could definitely think of a few of those.
