Well obviously it's a guy doing some kind of skiing activity - but it is rather unique and I just had to stop the car and capture it.

Can you guess how he is being propelled and what the environment might be?

Natural selection at work? :twisted:

I presume he's getting hauled along the river somehow - interesting that his board has rope running off it as well as the handgrip.

Tied to a tree? Surfing the current without actually moving?

He works for quality control at Whirlpool and he's testing out the prototype of their new 2000kg top-loading washing machine, which is so large it can only be set up outside. Do I win??? :wink:

Nah - I'm with Leek on this one, I reckon he's surfing rapids or outflow from a waterfall.

Well ! I guess you all win - you pretty much nailed it between you.

I was driving with a mate in Far North Queensland along a road in the Goldsborough Valley. We drove over a causway and this guy had his fence plank (sorry -ski) and rope tied to the bridge and was riding the flow of the rapids.


Thanks for playin'
