Paddling the english channel

[SDCali]

There was an interesting article in my local paper about Laird Hamilton paddling across the English Channel, thought it was pretty cool, most times they talk about people crossing the channel, it's when they swim it.

Laird Hamilton's mad!
Did you see riding giants or endlesss summer2 (cant remember which) where says he windsurfs between islands in hawaii

Yeah, he's pretty crazy.

He rode a bike from London to the coast. Then (on a stand up paddle board no less) paddled across the channel. THEN he rode a bike to Paris!

Well, I could do the first bit... but then I'd barely be able to paddle 21 yards, let alone 21 miles

Someone should of directed him to the eurostar, it would of been far easier!
