I could dilute my Gatorade, I just choose not to.

 

Why did Scobes get banned?

I remember when this record went down. I was surfing aboot 3 miles from there. Ben is a good guy. Surfed with him and his friends once at the Sh!t Pipe.

 

I dilute my gatorade with vodka... Same with my water

 

BigMoneyT did not like Ben

 

Lolz to all of the above.

Why did BMT/Shred pick on kure beach homie so much?

 

This is a very cool project. I fixed your post so people can read it more easily:

Hey everyone.. wondering how much insight you guys had into a project I am planning. This summer (maybe early fall) I plan on ATTEMPTING to break the Guinness World Record for longest surf session. The record is 29 hours and a few minutes..
Here are my guidelines..

I can take a 5 minute break every hour and I am able to "bank" my breaks. So I could surf for 3 hours and take 15 minutes out of the water.. So total it will take me about 31 hours to be successful.

I feel as if I am as trained as I will be. I have surfed every day this year (usually multiple sessions) even when the weather has sucked. I still realize that this will not be easy by any means...

My biggest fear is the sun..

I can change boards whenever I want to but it has to be within the break period..

I cannot walk back down the beach if the drift is down (unless its during a break) so I am hoping for a calm winded day.

I can have people swim me out food and water...

The night does not bother me.. I go midnight surfing on a full moon often.. Even alone although I know that is foolish...

Here are my issues..

I have to record all 29 hours of the surfing.. I assume this will take multiple video tapes and will probaly need to rent two video cameras for the day and have one charging and one running the entire time.

. I also am concerned about the light at nighttime. I dont care about being in the dark but it has to be properly recorded for Guinness to accept it. So I have spoken with the Fire Dept and they will let me borrow a spot light. Do you think that will attract sharks? I also wonder what the Sea Turtle people will say about that one

.. I need qualified witnessess to document the marathon and Guinness told me that lifeguards and surf instructors would be allowed so I have that covered.

Another question I have is time frame. I wanted to do it on a full moon for for the lighting but wondered if the tides would be too fat at that time. I dont know what they would say if I had a 3 hour break when no waves were breaking

.. I was thinking of doing this 7/13.... I have been in constant contact with Guinness and my doctors.. I once again would be raising money for a charity OCEAN CURE.. (http://oceancureinc.com). Same one I raised money for last year when I went 439 days straight catching a wave (broken up by my family dragging me to the mountains)... Let me know your thoughts and suggestions..

 

Shred didn't like him because he works and surfs with special needs children.

What's not to hate?

I wonder if The Shred ever got out of middle school...

 

fugging awesome bro! wish I could by you a drink!
