I haven't seen this before. Walking back from the shops, I spotted this chap working his way along the canal, rather slowly.
This way of getting around must be more suited to California or Florida than England, on an early Spring day. Still, going everywhere by cycle and foot seems a bit more normal!
What do they call those things, pretty sure it isn't a surfboard, nor is it a boat.

@Ronrybs yes, rivers and lakes I can understand but canals are still quite polluted hasn't he heard of Weil's Disease?

It looks like it may be a waterboard.

Yeah that looks like a surfboard. I prefer cycling, I love my road bike and I also love my mountain bike. That person looks a bit weird to be paddling on a surfboard. But to each his own.
I know someone from England who would travel around in her longboard, not surfboard.

My wife says it is called a "boogie board" in this country. I say it should be called "dumb."
