Have you ever felt how light a bird is? Hollow bones et al.
Have you noticed how big their chest muscles are?

You'd need ludicrously huge muscles, like cartoon levels, to come close to flying like that vid.

I want to tie a rope to the front of a windsurfer and attach it to the ground. Walk downwind, preferably over something soft like water... yeah, you know where I'm going with this.

You know that there's a big battery pack and servomotors in the wings, and the chest muscles are only providing like 5% of the total power, don't you?

I'm willing to bet anyone $1000 that this is fake. Feel like making me some easy money?

It's not even a good fake.. seriously the side on video... how can anyone think that is real.

You windzzzzzurfers are lagging behind the kiters as usual
