www.abc.net.au Hot air balloons spending more time on the water as kayakers hitch a ride
During the Canberra Balloon Spectacular, pilot Justin Galbraith bounces the basket of his hot air balloon across the surface of Lake Burley Griffin and throws out a towline to pull along hundreds of kayakers and paddle-boarders in his wake.
It's variously called skimming, splash'n'dash, or balloon sailing — where a hot air balloonist, with skill and experience, lands the balloon on water and sails with the wind behind them.
From a few hangers on, it's gained a following with hundreds of people being towed.
