Jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft for fun always struck me as a tad daft but to want to do it while strapped to a canoe? This guy must have landed on his head more times then BM. eeek:

NOW, here?s something you don?t see every day, a man flying across the sky in a kayak at 13,000ft.
Skyaking is the new daredevil craze that?s a bizarre cross between canoeing and skydiving.
Thrill-seeker Miles Daisher invented the new extreme sport, which involves being strapped into a kayak and parachute, then hurling yourself from a plane to land on water at speeds of up to 50mph.
Miles, from Twin Falls, Idaho, in the US, said: ?It took us nearly a year before we could get our wish to come true as no one was looking to throw a kayak out of a plane.?
Already a skydiving veteran ? with more than 3,000 jumps under his belt ? Miles, 40, is just mad about skyaking.
Or maybe he is just mad to do it.
He revealed he pulls his parachute high, at 5,000ft, to buy time ?if anything goes crazy?.
