Body cam shows wheel wash onshore
A Florida man was trying to run on the water to travel from St. Augustine to New York to raise money for charity.
FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. - The Flagler County Sheriff's Office has released body camera video of a strange vessel that washed ashore on the morning of July 24. It turned out to be a Central Florida man who was "walking on water" for charity.
Long-distance running Reza Baluchi says he is no stranger to the water and calls his bubble sea craft a hydropod. Baluchi, 49, departed St. Augustine on July 23 in his hydropod with the goal of reaching New York to benefit the homeless and first responders.
"My goal is to not only raise money for homeless people, raise money for the Coast Guard, raise money for the police department, raise money for the fire department. They are in public service, they do it for safety and they help other people," he told a deputy.
