Idiot Scot to Windsurf Across Atlantic

A Scotsman is planning to become the first person to windsurf across the Atlantic – and then turn back and do it again.

Leven Brown, aka El Loco, would have to balance on the 20ft surfboard for around five months as he gets blown from the Canary Islands to Antigua, without any support vessel.

He would get only a few hours sleep a night, in a small hollowed-out depression in the board, and would eat dehydrated food, reports Metro.

The specially-made board will be fitted with an electronic anti-shark mechanism.

Once he’s crossed the Atlantic, Mr Brown plans to turn round and surf back the other way – taking a more dangerous route through rougher seas.

A candidate for this year’s Darwin Award, for sure. Hope he takes plenty of single malt, and a sheep for company….
