The atmosphere is Earth's protective layer, cloaking it in a warm, wet embrace, warding off damaging cosmic rays and providing the life giving oxygen which we depend on for our very lives. In fact, our atmosphere is a fluid, just as surely as the ocean is – we are like lobsters scuttling about at the bottom of an ocean of air. To prove it the world's top sky surfer takes a ride through the air, controlling his board as if he was on a wave. |
