Vancouver Island 2007 Circumnavigation Record
Loading...
Uploaded by AdvExperiences on Oct 4, 2010
In May 2007, there was a new record laid down for the Circumnavigation of Vancouver Island in a Sea Kayak. Two kayakers; Keirron Tastagh (Adventurous Experiences, IOM) and Jeff Norville (Portland, US) had never met before, paddled a double kayak 700 miles around Vancouver Island, broke all existing times, finishing in 19 and a half days! The duo paddled a pink kayak in an effort to raise both awareness and funds for Breast Cancer. The idea was inspired by mutual friend and fellow paddler, Ginni Callahan, who triumphed over breast cancer the previous autumn.
This was achieved in a Sea Kayaking UK 'Triton' double kayak (previous records -- 26 days in a double and 28 days in a single kayak) and proved that the sleek and very manoeuvrable Sea Kayaking UK Triton double kayaks can be used for longer expeditions and are fast as well!
