A man in the city of Chongqing has managed to dramatically cut the time it takes him to get to work by paddling across the Yangtze.

29-year-old Liu Fucao’s office is on the north bank of the river, but he lives on the south bank. It used to take him an hour to drive to work through rush hour traffic. Nowadays, it takes him only six minutes via paddleboard.

Liu is a professional paddleboarder and would like to remind everyone that this method of commuting for work isn’t for everyone and should only be taken with experience and a waterproof backpack.
