Rémy Bricka (born April 10, 1949 in Niederbronn-les-Bains, Bas-Rhin) is a French musician, one-man band, and singer. He became the first person to walk across the Atlantic Ocean, in 1988, using floating skis to walk on water.[1][2]
His most successful album is La Vie en couleur, and in 1977 that song of his became a number five hit in France.[3] The single Elle dit bleu elle dit rose sold 250,000 copies.
Along with the French versions, he released German versions of Petite fille du roi (Lakritz und Pfefferminz) and Chanter la vie (Freunde zu haben). In May 2008, Bricka appeared with Julien Doré in his single Les limites.[4]

Transcription
Aquatic pedestrianism
Between April 2 and May 31, 1988 he crossed the Atlantic on floating skis, propelled by a pair of oars.[5] He attempted to cross the Pacific (between Los Angeles and Sydney) by the same method. He started out on April 24, 2000, but failed, and he was recovered south of Hawaii on September 25 after five months of travel. A book was published in 1990 on his earlier adventure: L’Homme qui marche sur l’eau (The Man who Walks on Water).[6]
