Man and Dog Paraglide Over Sydney Beach

Sydney resident Benjamin Whittaker was walking toward Long Reef Beach when he spotted the unusual sight of a man paragliding with a dog.

Whittaker’s footage, which went viral on October 14 after being shared by a popular Australian Instagram account, shows the paraglider going at speed over the Northern Sydney beach with the dog strapped in for the ride.

The sighting was a first for Whittaker, who is frequently in the area. “I’m constantly at the beach, and out and about walking, but I’ve never seen anything like this”, he said. Credit: Benjamin Whittaker via Storyful
