footage of Captain Calamity aka Glenn Crawley – crashing his now legendary catamaran boat ‘Mischief’ at Little Fistral, Newquay. Watch as he ends up drifting inside the breaking waves much to the bemusement of the surfers as the boat gets caught inside powerful surf. Waves soon begin to hit the boat. The first wave impacts so hard he is forced to dive for cover and the boat begins to break apart. RIP ‘mischief’. Glenn’s unique personal style of extreme sailing has always been controversial. He has at times been banned from Newquay Harbor. In 2007 he was involved in 4 RNLI coastguard rescues while in charge of Mischief in as many hours.

Dean Potter is characterized by creativity, commitment and challenge. He started climbing as a child, with a free solo fall from a stone wall as one of his earliest memories. Since that time, he has speed soloed Half Dome and El Capitan, Cerro Torre, and Fitzroy. He was the first to make a one-day free ascent of El Cap and Half Dome, and a one-day speed linkup of both of those big walls and Mount Watkins, Yosemites third Grade VI wall. He has also established testpiece crack routes in the Utah desert and highball boulder problems in Yosemite. For more on Dean visit prAna.com Dean has walked the longest highlines, often without a safety leash, though he has dedicated over a decade of engineering and testing to create the safest highline systems currently used. Most recently, he has combined BASE jumping skill with highlining and free soloing, using a specially engineered ultralight BASE rig as his backup system. Dean currently bases out of Yosemite, where he can usually be found on a large piece of granite.
