What people who are not from NZ may not realize is that to his left for the first 3 minutes of the clip is Auckland city. When he says at 2:27 we can't go any higher than 1500 feet it is because they are about 15 miles west of Auckland International Airport and are under what is normally very busy airspace.
So what are your options if you come around a corner and one of the cliffs isn't working? from the looks of it the only option is to ditch it in the ocean.
Mark - excellent video! I really enjoyed watching you skim the water. What a different view. Bet that was a lot of fun. :)

Very busy airspace? It’s NZ. That’s funny.

Awesome Mark! No ocean ridge runs in Michigan :-(
Great vid Mark - not sure about your ship, but mine was salt-encrusted after this run, took a heap of washing, pity about CEB, cheers, zk-gkk
What happens to CEB?
prop strike - its tricky conditions out there!
Loved it.
a wonderful video.... I've soared the Kaimias but not west coast, where did you take off from and where did you land please ?
Can't help but wonder if this would have looked better with the stab off... it's very distracting. Fantastic fun in the flying though!
That's exhilariating.
What sunglasses are you wearing? They look like a great fit for flying..
Cool!!!
Fantastic Vid Thanks, Like your audio description. Music is too loud, Bloomin horrid and intrusive!

awesome video mate how do you like that JS1
This would make an excellent search & rescue craft @ minimal cost.
All of this is done without an engine ladies and gentlemen... Isn't nature beautiful?
Are you allowed to fly over open ocean in a glider i.e. the cook straight?
Cook Strait off Auckland? Not sure you are allowed to fly anything unless you get your bearings right...
Ditch The Horrible Music! Otherwise A Decent Video!
why did you spoil such a beautiful video with this horrible music???
Just because You dont like the music, its not mean that the music is horrible. You not be the center of the universe.
Cuir Cuir CUir et Moustache :D
Such atrocious music... detracts from the beauty of flight and landscape.
