BECOMING JONNY DURAND: One Of The Worlds Best Hang Gliding Pilots EP.24


Listen Later

Jonny Durand is Australia's #1 Hang Gliding Pilot and one of the best Hang Gliding pilots in the world.
Now this episode is a bit of a throwback to one of our first ever recorded episodes so excuse us if we sound a little rusty. Rusty or not, we take nothing away from our guest and his incredible journey through life. Following on from our last episode with free jumper/wingsuit athlete Mike Swanson, this episode we talk with Australia's very own flying man. This, is Becoming Jonny Durand.
For those of you who don't yet know Johnny, he is an ex-RedBull sponsored hang gliding pilot one of the best hang gliders in the world, has countless national champions and duelled it out for 11 hours in a successful Hang Gliding world record attempt of over 700km with American Dustin Martin who he will forever hold a fun competitive grudge with for getting the better thermals on that day. And don't worry, we didn't know what thermals were or how they make you fly either before this chat, Jonny with explain all.
If hang gliding specifically is a dream or passion of yours or you're fascinated by the process and patience required to take on any mammoth size activities whether that is business or sporting career then you'll love this episode of Becoming Jonny Durand.
