Jaylan Amor is only two years old, but is already surfing the waves outside of Brisbane, Australia and has secured multiple endorsements from surf shops.
To catch a wave, his dad paddles him out to sea, then the two year old hops and rides the waves back into shore. Mr Amor isn’t worried if Jaylan falls, as the tike just swims back to his board and waits for daddy to help him back up. Link [news.com.au] via DoubleViking.

That modified logo remains until today.

After 9 weeks and 3,272 miles of exhaustion, sunburn, delirium and piranhas, Martin Strel, a 52-year-old Slovenian, successfully completed a swim down the Amazon River.
That’s almost as long as the drive from Miami to Seattle.
It’s a good thing it wasn’t the Congo River.
