Commuting by Kayak Across Lake Austin

Mose Buchele reports:

Every morning hundreds of thousands of people traverse Austin's congested roads to get to work. Most of them have probably thought: There’s got to be a better way.

This is the story of one man who found it.

The envy of every super commuter is Jason Dzubinski, who works as chief operating officer of Westlake Dermatology in West Lake Hills while living on the north side of Lake Austin. Dzubinski commutes twice a week by inflatable kayak across the lake (a trip that takes 10 minutes), before "a long hike through some of the city’s most desirable lakeside neighborhoods, clad in a rash guard shirt, a wide-brimmed hat and black compression socks."

In all the trip takes an hour and a half—but that's only 30 minutes longer than the trip used to take him by car. And since taking on the commute, Dzubinski says he's "in better shape, become more relaxed and had more energy for his two kids when he gets home from work."
