This will never catch on. That doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be fun to try in real life, though. Carsten Kurmis, who is usually a kitesurfer, grabbed a tow rope that was attached to a hot air balloon, then took a twenty minute cruise across Lake Tegernsee in Germany’s southern Alps, and threw countless shakas at everyone one he saw.
According to the description, Kurmis was going about 20 miles an hour while the balloon floated along almost 500 feet above him. If nothing else, it’s a good way to get around on those pesky non-motorized lakes.
