Skydiver Successfully Lands With Surfboard and Rides Wave
Professional skydiver Sebastián Álvarez has pulled off an impressive new jump … which perfectly ties together his love of skydiving and surfing.
The former Air Force pilot, who describes himself as a “passionate surfer” online, is going viral on social media … after he coordinated a stunt with Red Bull that saw him skydiving on a surfboard. Yes, you read that correctly!!!

The jump is made even more impressive thanks to Alvarez’s totally tubular landing … where he caught a wave after deploying his parachute and gracefully touching down on the blue water below.
From Álvarez’s caption, we can assume the stunt took place in the United Arab Emirates … given the tags for “@visitabudhabi” and “@surfabudhabi.”
Those familiar with Álvarez’s career aren’t necessarily surprised by his latest risk-taking stunt … as the famous wingsuit flyer has collaborated with the energy drink company on a number of occasions.
In fact, just last month, Álvarez suited up in Red Bull gear and made a daring jump into a basin in Norway.

Álvarez uploaded a couple videos from the leap, where he can be seen soaring down into the basin courtesy of just a wingsuit.
Even fellow adrenaline junkie Orlando Bloom appears to be a fan … as he too follows the sportsman on social media.
Looks like Red Bull means it when it says the drink can “give you wings.”
