Steph Bridge who is head of a family of champion kitesurfers had worked with Richard Branson on a number of record breaking attempts so in 2024 she was able to get his agreement for someone to kitesurf off Resilient Lady. They would be sixteen floors up. They would need to fly through the air and to land in the sea after falling 50 metres. It was her 23 year old son, Tom Bridge, who carried out the stunt spending 40 seconds in the air. Kitesurfing from a height was not an established sport, so Tom achieved a first.
