Remember the Icelanders that drive on water? Well, now Nordic walking on water is an option too. A new sport called Tu Fin invented by four students at the Technical University in Munich. They designed an eight meter long boat that you "paddle" by walking. Like in Nordic Walking you have the poles in each hand and you just walk the boat forward. You "Tu Fin" it. Tu Fin is supposed to be an excellent fitness exercise for the whole body and gets you running on the water without making any sound.
So, who wants to be the first to "walk" a cross the English Channel? Or the North-Atlantic?
