Italian kitesurfing star Andrea Principi has performed a record-breaking kite drop from the top of Ain Dubai, the world's tallest observation wheel at 250 metres, or about 57 storeys.
Principi soared down by kite to land on the waters off Jumeirah Beach Residence before riding away on his board.
The 58-second descent saw Principi execute six consecutive "Around the World" loops, a world first for the advanced kitesurfing manoeuvre.
The 21-year-old two-time Red Bull King of Air champion converted his kite into a parachute - stepping off the iconic Dubai landmark at 6:54 a.m. local time in 14-knot winds to touch down smoothly on the waters of the Persian Gulf.
