Just beyond the Nevada border, where the Mojave Desert stretches wide and the wind never really rests, something incredible happens.
At the edge of Interstate 15, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System captures the power of the sun…
but just beyond it, on the vast surface of the Ivanpah Dry Lake, that energy transforms into speed.
Welcome to the America's Landsailing Cup.
Here, wind-powered land yachts race across the open playa, reaching impressive speeds with nothing but skill, precision, and the force of nature. With miles of unobstructed terrain, Ivanpah becomes the perfect proving ground for landsailing enthusiasts from across the country.
This video captures the raw beauty of the desert and the thrill of landsailing… from sweeping aerial views to ground-level action as these incredible machines glide, carve, and accelerate across the dry lake bed.
If you love wide open spaces, unique motorsports, or the intersection of nature and technology, this is something you have to see.
Filmed responsibly using aerial imaging.
Drone: DJI Mavic 4 Pro and the DJI Avata 2
