Stand Up Paddleboard
Mississippi River, Source to Sea
June 19th - September 9th 2011
Distance: 2404 miles
Nobody on the planet has travelled further than Dave Cornthwaite on a Stand Up Paddleboard in one journey. His descent of the Mississippi River took 68 days of paddling, 82 in total, and was the first time anyone had Stand Up Paddled the Mississippi carrying all of their own gear.
This was the fourth journey of Dave's Expedition1000 project and the second time he had broken a distance record on a board (see BoardFree). Dave paddled as an Ambassador for Blue, encouraging people to join him on the water and develop an appreciation for the river that flowed by their doorsteps.
