Our continuing tests of the new UAV from Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. This was a great demonstration of how the plane and its attached video camera can show us a barrier island from just a few hundred feet up.
@skywave12 Thanks! I was thinking of ridge soaring the condos but I was without goggles or a monitor. It would have been VERY easy to stay aloft for an hour with the lift I was getting. You can see at around 2:45 I had to power dive to get back down. What a blast.

Super cool footage! They use these for surf competitions to get the aerial shots.

That continuous smooth flowing onshore wind is something I will have to do.
Great video Paul.
You can go far with sand berms near a shoreline making the plane soar with uplifts .
Not thermals. Just uplifts. Hang pilots can ride the uplifts for many miles.
It would be interesting if a FPV plane could do the same.
Maybe another record to do with shorelines?
