Two Russian athletes have managed to achieve that which many could only dream of. On July 1, 2011, Evgeny Novozheyev and Konstantin Aksenov were the first people in the world to ever to kite surf across the most dangerous section of water between Eurasia and North America, The Bering Strait. The two athletes braved the ice-cold waters and risked their lives as they spent seven straight hours kite surfing a total of 175 kilometres and accomplished something many believed impossible.
