EXPLOIT<br />

14-year-old kiteboarder crosses the English Channel<br />

14-year-old kiteboarder cr<br />

ADAM FARRINGTON, A 14-YEAR-OLD TEENAGER, BECAME THE YOUNGEST<br />

PERSON TO KITESURF ACROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.<br />

Adam Farrington rode his kite from Swanage Beach,<br />

in England, to Cherbourg-Octeville, in France, in five<br />

hours and 19 minutes.<br />

The schoolboy from Ferndown battled rough seas, 25<br />

mph winds, and had to dodge a few large container<br />

ships as he navigated the busy shipping lane.<br />

Farrington travelled 69 miles and suffered a few<br />

wipeouts on his way to France. With ten miles to go,<br />

the youngster suffered cramps but managed to complete<br />

the challenge.
