Last week the Nomadic Paddler, David Haze, set a new world record by paddling for the longest continuous time on a SUP. David managed a huge feat, paddling for 43 hours and over 250km in Poole Harbour, UK.
*NEW RECORD* – Adventure number 8 of my ‘Twelve 4 Twelve’ campaign is complete and what a roller coaster it was!
If you’re not aware, this year I have been undertaking one big challenge a month and adventure number 8 saw me attempt the record for the longest continuous paddle on a SUP in Poole Harbour. The time to beat was 38 hours and the rules were simple, I couldn’t leave the board, I couldn’t sleep and I had to paddle a minimum of 4km an hour. I managed to achieve 43 hours covering 249km.
This challenge was all about mind over matter and it was definitely an emotional one, mentally draining and by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done!
I pushed my self over the edge but this is why I turned to adventure in my darkest time, to really understand who I am and what I am capable of.
Not only did I achieve a new world record but I also raised over my target amount for the local mental health charity Dorset Mind.
All I can say is, that if you can dream it then with sheer determination you can achieve it!
More information coming soon about David’s achievements.
Can you tell us which board David used to complete this challenge?
Hello David, I used my 14 foot rigid Fatstick racer
