Any idea what he is actually doing?
It looks like a SUP version of the kayaks they use to set ocean crossing records.
I guess it is "SUP Med" a project of Nicolas Jarossay, a Frenchman who wants to cross the atlantic on a SUP.
He will sleep in the nose during the 55 to 75 days trip. He plans to start in January 2016.
