This is a video of a guy being pulled on a surfboard by a Freefly System Alta 8, a powerful octocopter designed for lifting heavy video equipment. It looks like fun, at least until the thing runs out of batteries and the sharks show up. And how crazy is it that this guy is being towed around on the ocean using an OCTOcopter, and the ocean is filled with OCTOpuses? Crazy right?! “Nope.” And how crazy is it that my parents and I have the same last name?! “You’re kidding, right?” Wow, I’m really starting to question if you appreciate crazy shit at all.

Hit the jump for the video.
