Alex Kell, a financial planner, said paddleboarding gives him much needed thinking time as a business owner.
A man in the United Kingdom has come up with a unique solution for people who spend a lot of time, and money, on commuting to office from home. Alex Kell, a financial planner from Gloucester, paddleboards to work that helps him save around 2,500 pounds a year in petrol and parking costs.
“I've paddleboarded for about five or six years,” Mr Kell told Euro News.
“A couple of years ago I moved to a location that put me right on the water, so it allowed me to paddleboard not only in my leisure time, but also as my daily commute,” the 38-year-old added.
Mr Kell, who owns Quayside Wealth Management, gets his stand-up paddleboard out at his home and paddles the mile up the Gloucester-Sharpness Canal to work.
