It is sliding umbrella.
An inventive Canadian skater surprised social media users after using an umbrella to glide on ice like Mary Poppins.
“It turned out to be a good idea, as we could cover the lake quickly,” Devin Jenson said of his bold ice cap. The trick designed the “very fun” mode of transportation while playing hockey with friends on Lake Three Valley, near Revelstoke, British Columbia.
“Then my friend Bill realized he had an umbrella in the car, so we thought we’d try to pick up the speed,” he told Storyful.
In the next minute of video, Jenson can be seen on skates with his umbrella outstretched like Disney’s beloved character as the wind tows him through the ice through his makeshift parasail. The comic clip concludes with the subzero windsurfer throwing a thumb up at the videographer as he glides.
“Not only was it snow-free, but it was also perfectly smooth and flat, which made for an amazing afternoon,” said the daredevil, who hadn’t seen the lake freeze like this despite living there since 1989. .
