This father and son duo just crossed the English Channel on eFoil boards 😮

Okay, this is pretty cool:

Yes, dad Rob and son Morgan Wylie became the first people to cross the English Channel on eFoil boards, a funky surfboard with an electric propeller. The 23-mile journey from France to the UK took the father-son duo 1 hour and 44 minutes, as they navigated "currents, seaweed, swell and ships" along the way.

And get this: the surfboards are battery-powered, and when the boys got to shore in the UK Rob's board only had 4% battery left.

That's pretty scary if you ask me.

Okay, someone throw a Union Jack on this GIF. Thanks.
