An incredible achievement! I wouldn’t even attempt to sail it.

Why didn’t this show up in the Star-Advertiser, even below the fold?

This is an awesome achievement at any age. Glad Kanaloa welcomed him.
Also, TIL the island of Wales could take a holiday.

I’ve only done a little bit of stand-up paddling but it strikes me as inefficient the way his blade is only partially submerged and he’s splashing so much water. Anyone got an explanation of that?
This guy did a great thing with a technique that made him work harder.
People have already rowed boats across oceans with two paddles, sitting.
He did it the way he enjoyed it, so really, that’s a great and respectable thing, but it doesn’t take away from the others before.

And here I thought the wales were part of the boat!
Or maybe he wore his corduroys…?
Nor Civil Beat. (Even now, 9 hours after your post!)
What an elaborate way to avoid his family on a milestone birthday.
