Swooping gave mountain swooping and ground launching.
Then logically came speed-flying (aka speed-riding)...
Where the hack did Lee Tamahori get the inspiration for Die Another Day's sequence where we see James Bond "speed-surfing" down a breaking iceberg generated wave?!
Although totally virtual I recommend that sequence of the last James Bond for the ideas of realisation it can give...
Lol! Maybe someday we'll see Laird Hamilton speed-riding down Jaws... ^^
But first, is speed-riding adaptable to riding waves? big waves..?
waves = kitesurfing

No, because the wave is also moving forwards. The closest thing you can get to it is Kitesurfing.
and yes, it has been done on JAWS...
ps - not seen the James Bond movie is the speed-flying sequence on the web ?.
