Unemployed and confined to his house during Melbourne’s fifth lockdown, Andrew Englisch was depressed.
To keep his mind occupied, the father of two began searching online for a new hobby.
After only doing the sport for about a year, Mr Englisch decided he wanted to be the first person in the world to cross Bass Strait on a wing foil.
Starting at the north-eastern tip of Tasmania at Cape Portland, he island-hopped his way up the coast of Flinders Island then onto Deal Island and Refuge Cove.
