An Indonesian minister, known for sinking foreign vessels intruding into the country’s waters, has challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a race after the Facebook Inc founder posted a picture of himself paddling on Lake Tahoe. 

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti threw down the gauntlet to Zuckerberg on Instagram in response to a post that showed him on a paddle board on Lake Tahoe, with the sun setting in the backdrop. Pudjiastuti said she would love to challenge Zuckerberg to a “paddle race and win 10% of Facebook”.
