There is a new documentary being made by the filmmakers who made that Rell Sun doc about Rell’s cancer diagnosis, inspirational life and eventual death.
Swell Cinema is currently working on the last touches of a film about Don King’s son who has Autism. http://www.beautifulson.com/film.html
In case you didn’t know, Don King is a famous ocean photographer.
So, Laird Hamilton is crossing the english channel (standing on a paddle board) to raise funds for this film.
For your reference, here’s the coverage on the surfrider blog:

The extreme surfer Laird Hamilton has always created new challenges. His latest mission is a crossing from London to Paris on a bike, with the crossing of the English Channel doing stand-up paddle surfing. Total crossing: 425 km. For every Kilometer, Laird paddles or peddles trying to raise funds for “Beautiful Son”.
“For years I have wanted to cross from London to Paris. It is a physical challenge: a worthy mission. Also, it’s a great opportunity to bring awareness and hopefully raise funding for Don’s film about healing autism. I am honored to have the opportunity to help Don.” Laird Hamilton
