EP.042: Brendon Prince - World Record Paddleboarding around Great Britain in 141 days & Hunted by Killer Whales

The Modern Adventurer Podcast

Brendon Prince (Extreme Athlete)

On today's Podcast, we have Brendon Prince, who became the first person to stand up paddleboard around mainland Britain. He began his circumnavigation in Torquay, Devon, on April 27 and arrived back on September 14. Over 141 days, he covered a staggering 4,203km on his SUP, and he hoped to complete it in 120 days. Unfortunately, winds plagued his journey from the start, and he lost a total of 22 days to the weather.

In completing the expedition, he broke three World Records

1. First person to SUP from Lands End to John O'Groats via the coast.

2. Circumnavigation of Mainland Britain.

3. Longest ever SUP journey approx 3800km.

One of the reasons Prince began the challenge was to raise awareness for water safety, which you can donate to below. We talk about the highs and lows of such a trip and one particular experience where Killer Whales hunted him. Let me know what you think and leave a review of the episode.
