Wakeboarding and Drones

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : NurkFPV has shown that he is not afraid of putting his first person view (FPV) quads in harm's way. It's no surprise then that he and his wakeboarder bud, Randy Kizer, took some freestyle risks in the filming of this crazy good drone video. Flying a racing quad over water and allowing your buddy to chase you with a set of (sharp enough!) blades can be tricky biz. Nonetheless, these guys manage to pull through the good fun with an action-packed FPV vid you just have to watch for yourself!
