Two New Jerseyans commute from Hoboken to New York City by kayak

Hundreds of thousands of New Jersey residents commute to New York City every work day. They descend upon Manhattan Island every morning with a steady flow of trains, ferries, cars and buses. Two new Jerseyans living in Hoboken have added kayaks to that list. Zach Schwitzky and Erik David Barber use their kayaks to cross the Hudson River at least three days per week. Their hope is set an example and possibly interest other commuters to join them for a little exercise and do something positive for the environment. (Video by Andre Malok / The Star-Ledger)

Before I found this video, I was wondering if I could just kayak across the river, since I might move to NJ. So great to see these guys doing it!!
There could be an official kayak commute with places to store and lock your equipment. We should all be able to benefit from the body of water that surrounds us. So cool!

haha watch them set up the $12 toll in the middle of the Hudson just so you guys still have to pay. No one escapes the NY toll! :p
Seriously though, very cool!

Why not get a rolling/folding front end cart? Instead of carrying the boat you can just roll it. Or inflatable advanced elements sport model which is 30 lbs. great idea though its the same idea with biking to work only the kayak feels safer than the streets
