In a thrilling moment of sportsmanship and daring, 23-year-old Red Bull athlete Tom Bridge transformed Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady into his own kitesurfing playground, launching an epic leap from the ship’s deck—129ft above sea level! As the ship anchored near the beautiful Greek island of Delos, travellers were treated to an adrenaline-pumping show as Bridge performed the leap, soaring hundreds of feet before landing in the turquoise waters below.
Tom, who has a deep connection to both kitesurfing and Virgin Voyages founder Sir Richard Branson, shared that it was “probably the most terrifying thing” he had ever done with a kite. And it’s no surprise—jumping from a ship that high requires immense skill and nerve.
Sir Richard Branson, no stranger to extreme sports, celebrated Bridge’s feat, saying: “You’ve got to be both incredibly skilled, and have a lot of nerve to attempt such a boost—what an amazing achievement!” Branson, a kitesurfing enthusiast himself, holds a Guinness World Record for the largest kitesurfing parade, which Tom participated in at just 12 years old.
This incredible leap off Resilient Lady was truly a spectacle for both travellers and crew alike, and adds another chapter to Virgin Voyages’ adventurous spirit.
