Every surfer knows the feeling of waking up keen for a surf, then arriving at the beach and seeing it’s flatter than Table Mountain.

Bummer bra, except if you have loads of money.

Introducing dronesurfing – or drone surfing, depending on who you ask – which is a pretty sweet way of ghosting across the water’s surface.

Here’s RT:

Drone surfing is the ideal sport for those that live near water, have sufficient surfing/wakeboarding skills, and have thousands of dollars to blow.

The people behind the US-based drone company Freefly are responsible for the undeniably awesome vid, which features their $18,000 Alta 8 model that’s designed to take up to 9kg (20lb) of weight.

So just the R256 000 and you’re good to go. Who needs waves, right?

Thanks, Mike
