Pretty cool. I bet he just started at smaller distances and then cranked it up further and further. I wonder how much the paddle tread helped, or if the speed was enough without the paddles?

I have actually done something like that, except on skimboards. We had a contest for who could skim across the longest section of a river/creek that was about 4' deep in the middle. One of my cousins has footage but he is a dickhead and I can't get it from him.

I won the contest.

I gotta say, that's pretty darn cool. Especially when you consider the penalty for failure ain't just gettin wet!

Pretty cool.

I'd hate to be the guy who's quad cuts out mid-way. That'd be and expensive recovery & repair.
