Last November, David Seidel started going out paddling on his surfboard as a way to improve his fitness on days there was no surf.
It's fair to say he achieved that goal, as six months
later he found himself paddling across the Cook Strait.
"I live close to the beach and I surf pretty much every day," he said.
