David Haze & Paddling 4 Change - 4 Lakes in 4 Days
David Haze (aka the Nomadic Paddler) will be paddling the UK’s four largest lakes in four days to raise funds and awareness for ‘Alliance of Sport‘, whose mission is to build a better and safer society through the use of sport in the Criminal Justice System and by actively helping their network in their efforts to reduce violence, crime and reoffending.
2020 was the start of my new life, a new prosperous chapter in the story book of my life.
So much has changed, long gone are lost opportunities, the broken relationships and for the first time in my life I am truly happy, content and settled. I for once now fully honestly understand who I am, my belonging and I am relishing in this journey that I am embarking on.
With this said I am now trying to live through adventure, I want push my boundaries and test limits, but I want to take my love of the sport that I adore and admire to a new level, which is why I will be attempting to Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) the 4 longest lakes in the UK in 4 days in attempt to set 4 world records.
The four lakes are:
• Loch Awe – Scotland
• Lake Windermere – England
• Lough Neagh – Northern Ireland
• Llyn Tegid – Wales
David is also using GeoSUP to track his progress. Good Luck David!
