Overview

• MacCormac exited a helicopter at roughly 5,500 feet and steered toward the San Francisco Bay Bridge, which reaches about 525 feet at its tallest point.
• He rode the bridge’s steel cables for several seconds on a one-off skysurf board before detaching and landing on a floating platform below.
• The custom board featured a high‑density polyethylene base to resist cable abrasion and a honeycomb core between carbon‑fiber layers for strength and maneuverability.
• A veteran of the Red Bull Air Force with more than 20,000 skydives, the 50‑year‑old spent months rehearsing and later called the effort the most intense project of his career.
• Prada Linea Rossa provided a high‑performance aerodynamic jumpsuit as Red Bull framed the event as a revival of skysurfing.
