From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick de Gayardon (born 23 January 1960 - died 13 April 1998) was a French skydiver, skysurfer and a BASE jumper. He was famous for pushing the boundaries of skydiving. De Gayardon was one of the first persons to develop the unique style of skysurfing, in which skydivers use a board to make aerobatic maneuvers. He also made many famous stunts with his wing-suit (sometimes referred to as a "bat suit"). In 1998 Patrick died in Hawaii during a skydive where he was using the wing-suit.
