into the blue // Lanzarote - Fuerteventura one way

Hang Gliding Heaven Series Part IV
My inter-island-flight from Lanzarote to Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain.

The video is first showing a best-of-collection flying at Famara, Cuchillo, Tenesar, Macher and a speedrun along the spine of Mirador. Then the real fun starts with the island highlights from the seagull's view: crater of Monte Corona, castle of Teguise, desert of Zonzamas and a low save over the unlandable wine yards of La Geria.

Reaching cloud base over Femes and again over the beach of Papagayo I kept drifting to the very end of the island overlooking the sea channel of La Bocayna with Fuerteventura on the horizont. At 1.300m and 30 km/h tailwind from NNE I could not resist starting my final glide INTO THE BLUE…

One of my most memorable flights and a XC jorney I was waiting for years!
On board two gopros, one Lumix camera and GPS track log saving this epic adventure even in motion picture… enjoy!
