And now for Something Completely different..
.. The Monty Python fans will get the Title..
 Got this a few days ago from the beach at LSP. I'd seen this on TV a while back.. 1st time I've spotted it on Winni. These folks were having a blast! Not a great picture, taken with a long lens and still had to be cropped pretty hard.

Nudge nudge wink wink
I've seen a similar thing on TV but the guy was wearing a jet pack contraption which I'm thinking would be much more stable. Just shoes? Geez, I can see the guy getting whipped around like a loose fire hose

This guy was getting up to about 30', he was also doing a series of porpoise moves going in and out of the water. I didn't get any good pictures of that because he was half way across the Broads when he started that.

Are we talking about an African Swallow or a European Swallow?

Now you have me started.. and I can't stop..
King Arthur: I am your king! Woman: Well I didn't vote for you! King Arthur: You don't vote for kings. Woman: Well how'd you become king then? Angelic music plays... King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king! Dennis: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!
