Stuntman Nick Jacobsen kite-surfs from the top of Azzam’s mast — video

Ahead of the final in-port race of this year’s Volvo Ocean Race, champions Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing invited stuntman Nick Jacobsen to kite-surf from the top of Azzam’s mast.

Currently in Gothenburg, Sweden at the end of the round-the-world race, Azzam welcomed Jacobsen on-board try his stunt.

“I like jumping off stuff with my kite. I had never been on top of a mast like that. I don’t know how it reacts out there compared to the wind,” Jacobsen said.

“When I’m down in the boat, it’s pretty steady, but as soon as you’re up there it’s different. I trust these guys 100 per cent, so it’s pretty much on my shoulders.”
