- Cruising along the coastline with 250 kph and doing a lowpass at the beach. That´s the definition of Epicness!
I can´t be more thankful to experience this in real life.
A huge shoutout to Smeg NZ and Auckland Gliding Club for making this happen!

My kind of flying!
so amazingly awesome...
So amazing. Crazy
cockpit looks like a game while the ground looks real
He riding the wind 🌬
Splendide,
merci beaucoup l'Ami !!!
Epic. I fly PPG because I love the low flying side of things, but I’ve never seen glider ridge soaring like this. Very cool.
OOOOoooooweeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! That's some flying!!!!!
When you turn the sound off , it's really beautiful to watch .
Even the glider is excited
Beautiful
Incredible
Awesome
like a bird...
just a dream
Great stuff. I used to hangglide on that beach. The lift is super reliable.
Magnificent
When the plane said :OoOooooOoOOOOOOOooo o oooOoooOo
I Felt that
Lol
T
it's called glider
@@nichtverstehen2045 it was a joke
😂😂😂
Just too cool
Very Nice
Awesome!
What a dream for me that i live in a city.................................
From a viewers perspective it doesn’t get much better than this, beautiful rolling hills one side and the rugged west coast ocean the other. Visually stunning!
There is still some better footage available from this day ;)
Cool because I’ve just about worn out the big TV watching this one!
And mere seconds from a terrible terrible death. Exciting indeed.
@@VarietyGamerChannel no death
@@VarietyGamerChannel he would survive
Beautiful!
Fabulous, from a hangglider point of view! You can do things I can only dream about, even though I’m doing coastal flying too.
Flying a glider appears to be the ultimate in range anxiety!
or the opposite if you think you can fly forever
I don't think the sound of the variometer helps. It would stress me to no end.
Made my day... 🤣🤣🤣
@@Federation42movies in practice, it doesn't. the frantic beeping is actually a good sign.
Ministerium für Startsicherheit It's pronounced mayday.
It's R2D2 in control of your plane?
Yes he is very informative
The loopy beepy sound is a signal to tell you if you're flying through an updraft or not. When it makes the droning sound, it means you have no lift and are therefore descending (slowly). When it beeps, you're flying over/through a patch of upward air, which gives you lift and lets the glider climb in altitude. The intensity of the beeping tells you how strong the upward lift is. I learned that playing Microsoft Flight SIm a few weeks ago, ha!
hateclub how fast do you descend, dangerously?
Beep beep beeeep
the beeping informs the pilot of how much lift the plane is getting from rising / falling (hot & cold) air currents
Stefan, do you ever see any RC gliders slope soaring there? Looks absolutely ideal. Maybe even some dynamic soaring on the backside of some of those hills! I used to fly RC gliders in California...this made me miss it. Unbelievable scenery...looks like I have to visit NZ now!
Respect to Balleka. R.I.P
what many people here seem not to understand is how extremely efficient such a modern glass carbon sailplane is. for example take his low pass. he could have continued for many more seconds in the ground effect and only lose 5-10 km/h speed (or a few meters altitude from where he started his descent).
Insane
Wow
That wasn't flying, it was falling with style
Should a glider pilot head towards the mountain if the top of the mountain is covered with clouds??
Oh!
Why don't glider have a Artificial Horizon in the cockpit
This is a real pilot. A Boeing or Airbus captain couldn't do this.
The only outlanding strip appears to be the beach. You appear to have been very confident about the cliff updrafts.
Oceanic weather patterns are very reliable up there.
Just for anybody wonder what the beeping is, it's a device that detects if your going up or down.
more precisely, gaining or losing total energy (0.5*m*v^2 + m*G*h)
It always seems very risky to go down you never know if you can really go back up
Belleza
Duo Discus?
That low-level pass was one gutsy move. Pure flying moxy.
There are no old Bold pilots, but plenty of old ones.
I would replaced that audio signal with Clevelands: No, no, no, no, noooo ;-)
Ja hallöchen! Deutsche sind auch überall...
5:48 absolutely beautiful. That wind though :D
'Never heard of a glider referred to as a 'sailplane' before ...
It's commonly used in the US
The Oooo....woke up my dog...she thought it was her buddy howling..
Best with sound off on this video and sound on with Ocean waves video...
Красота.
КАК КРАСИВО!! ЖАЛЬ ЧТО ЭТО ВСЕ СКОРО УГРОБЯТ.
Nice graphics!
I absolutely love the sound of a variometer. What a beautiful video! I would have loved to experience this.
0:30 "CRAZY!" The glider was just 2 meters above the waves and somehow he was able to avoid taking a swim or walking home. Amazing flight. BRAVO!
New Zealand must be amazing for gliding, I wish I can fly there someday...
oh _HELL_ yes.
There are Old pilots and Bold pilots. But there are no Old and Bold pilots.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
That beeping noise would drive me fucking insane. Jesus Christ...
Thx for sharing, just awesome
It's amazing to think how big this planet is, we can't even see the curvature of it
One of the best videos I have seen for a long time. Never tried this kind of ridge soaring and my heart was in my mouth for much of the time. You had great faith in being able to find lift - I was never in the same league - thank you and well done.
some sailplanes have electric backup, however sailing the cliffs wind ramp is done by seagulls everyday and its amazing
he's brave I would be scared of losing lift and crashing in cold air current
You don't need thermals there, only wind which is deflected upwards by the cliffs. This is much more relieble then finding thermals. Nevertheless there is a small risk.
That is awesome footage. New Zealand has a great variety of soaring possibilities!
New Zealand is awesome!
New Zealanders are of the Israelite tribe of Manasseh, with those of England, Scotland, Australia, Canada. Brothers of those of Ephryim who founded the United States of America.
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 How Do you know?
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 This is clearly a channel for people interested in soaring, rather than the unnecessary division of the human race according to pseudo-science and conspiricy. I'm genuinely interested in what you think you are achieving with your previous post.
The new Battlefield game graphics is amazing !
Amazing 😁 👏🏻
These glider planes are absolutely insane
cool graphics
much better without the music
Was that mostly ridge soaring? Wind coming from the sea?
i didnt know planes can have aneurysyms
Sorry für die Frage aber die hat doch keinen Motor oder? Also die nutz ja nur den auftrieb
Wuuuuu poooo poooo poooo poooo wuuuuuu!
Wow, you faster than Piper PA-28 and Cessna 172
Haha, yes! And this without an engine ✌🏼
Puckered me right up when you got into the turbulence on the back side of that full turn that went behind the ridge line. Stephan's response: "I thought that would happen." Classic.
What happens if you are unable to find updraft? Do you get stranded?
I'd want a motor glider definitely.
No risk no fun 😅
this made me so happy
Great to see aviation videos from NZ
amazing scenery, NZ is just Beautiful
My next video was - the most affordable sailplane in the world
was in nz in 2015/16 and 2019 for visits and its beautiful
Man!!! you're freaking me out with these low passes!!!!!!!!!!! Really trusting the winds of mother nature here.
Awesome Stefan. I remember that. One of the best experiences ever.
Just awesome! Thank you 👍🏼
What is that sound indicating?
Endless free power on the day, the beach low pass was superb. I paid even more attention when he flew behind the hill!
Nice. Beautiful country
Alright, what are the outlanding plans right here? 🤔
Incredible flying. And the landscape is just stunning. It's like a blend of the Faroe Islands and the Oregon coastline. I hear New Zealand is a windy nation, especially in the zones between the two big islands. Those hills obviously have helpful updrafts. What a place to fly.
I thought that you surf the plain in water.
@Kevan M Allison He did that on purpose because he saw that the ridge line was diminishing. That glass ship is so slick all you have to do is to push the nose down, and gather speed, then ease up for altitude.
Nasip olur mu be?
ridge running
Stefan, thank you so much for taking us along!! Yes totally EPIC!!! Sitting inside with freezing rain here.
I wish I had the balls to do that low pass, over rocks and sea! Amazing.
Wonderfull experience ! Amazing scenery ! Clean, smooth, vibrationless flight...Thanks for sharing
Top - nice ride to know this beautiful country - congratulations and thanks for sharing with us....
Amazing flight.. what a long ridge run on on the coast. Epic place to fly!
Beautiful! Nice sloping, excellent videography!
very cool and dangerous
Porta Westfalica mit Wasser....alter schwede!
What is the price of this sailplane?
Ahhhh 60fps goodness. That is such a beautiful Video!
