Swing it

After seeing nothing of interest at Sandy Beach, I went on to Makapuu.  Late afternoon, little after 5PM.  You could feel a cold front moving through with the temperature dropping and the wind veering to northerly, as forecasted.   Dallying on the steps to the lookout,  I heard a voice say  . . .   " . .   the launch pad is over here."  Well, I waited to see what would happen.   Four guys went to a van and brought back two large bags which they quickly unpacked.  It was a curved seat, helmet, a mass of lines and a pouf of colourful nylon.  Two quickly strapped in, sorted the lines, then regathered them, climbed over the rock wall, walked a few steps and launched off the cliff face!  The first guy was a show-off.   He hovered, floated by, hugged the rock face, walked the railing of the lookout, disappeared and reappeared repeatedly, all making it look effortless.  Then he started swinging the glider like a pendulum (main shot).  At one point he incrementally went completely over in a circle, swinging his way around.  
In the  extra, he is swinging up from under the cliff, appearing suddenly vertical.    Sorry, it is not in focus.
