Recently, we had the chance to catch up with our friend and partner, pro surfer and pilot Michael Dunphy. Michael has always been passionate about chasing waves and new adventures, but in his latest YouTube video, he brings it to the next level —by embarking on his first long haul solo flight in his own plane.
In the video, Michael documents his ambitious journey from New Smyrna, Florida, all the way up to the Outer Banks. He loads up his plane with surfboards, wetsuits, and snacks, and sets off on what would be a 4.5-hour mission—his longest flight yet. Michael shares the challenges of the trip, the thrill of flying along the coast with nothing but the ocean below, and the excitement of scoring great waves with his friends.
For Michael, this flight was not just about reaching a surf destination, but about pushing his own boundaries and combining his two passions: surfing and flying. His journey is a testament to his adventurous spirit and relentless pursuit of new horizons. As Michael continues to rack up flight hours and dream of future surf trips to the Bahamas and beyond, we’re ready to follow along and share in his excitement.
Check out Michael’s video for the full story and to experience the highs, the challenges, and the pure joy of his first long haul flight. You can watch it here: Michael Dunphy’s First Long Haul Flight.
