Very cool perspective. If it was mine I doubt I'd trust it enough to fly so far out over the water!! This is pretty light wind - at least the sails are mostly huge - when does it become too iffy to fly?

I was nervous about over water flights last year, with less experience at the controls... New batteries gives confidence for up to 18 minutes flight time so I have faith that the flight can be brought back safely to the shore.
Winds were lighter at the time, in the 10 - 15 knot range, but the quadcopter could be flown in winds up to 20 knots, however, with less ability to track alongside the windsurfers
