Chilean wingsuit flyer Sebastian Alvarez recently made history after leaping from a height of 3,657 metres above Hudayriyat Island in Abu Dhabi before dropping into a wave in the most spectacular style.

With a modified surfboard attached to his feet, the 39-year-old former military pilot'skysurfed' down from the helicopter, swooping in by parachute before cutting his 'chute to land on a 2.3-metre wave in the world’s newest and largest wave facility.

The world-renowned base jumper and outdoor skydiver, Alvarez, has completed thousands of similar jumps, but on this occasion, he achieved a world first.
