0:00:13 > 0:00:17Welcome to West Palm Beach, Florida, site of our next record attempt,

0:00:17 > 0:00:19here in this body of water.

0:00:19 > 0:00:23It's lovely and warm in here! Are you going to have a paddle?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Ben, where you're from, there might be a goldfish or two.

0:00:26 > 0:00:30This is America, buddy, we have alligators.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Al, why didn't you show me that sign earlier?

0:00:34 > 0:00:38This next guy is not afraid of alligators.

0:00:38 > 0:00:44This is American kayaking colossus, Randy Fine. What a name, what a man!

0:00:44 > 0:00:48He's been kayaking for over 30 years, but not non-stop.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52He's held a number of records, including the 24-hour

0:00:52 > 0:00:58open ocean kayaking record, where he paddled an incredible 120.6 miles.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02And he has a magnificent moustache. Swoon!

0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Hey, Randy, how's it going? Can we have a chat?- Sure.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09There's gear for you to get into, then come on out.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13I'll show you how it's done. Kayak is my middle name.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15I thought it was Leslie. Sh!

0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'm doing better than you. At least I'm seated.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Yeah, but you're on land.- That's a technicality we'll get to later.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Here goes nothing!

0:01:25 > 0:01:30- Oh, no, mine is gone! - Now who's doing better at kayaking?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32This is how it's done.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Maybe not.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36You don't have a clue!

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Meanwhile... Uh-oh... Me neither.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I got it now.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Why don't we just get Randy over here?- Good idea.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50The reason I was so bad,

0:01:50 > 0:01:52I was worried about alligator attacks.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Are there any?- Yes, I've seen quite a few over the years.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Have you ever been attacked?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I've been lifted out of the water and I see them frequently,

0:02:01 > 0:02:05but I get away from them. For the record I'll do whatever it takes.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Randy, what is the record you're going for today?

0:02:08 > 0:02:12Most consecutive Eskimo rolls with a paddle in one minute.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15This is an Eskimo roll.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's a complete 360 degree turn of the kayak

0:02:18 > 0:02:23named in honour of the Eskimo people who first developed the boat

0:02:23 > 0:02:25and the skill of rolling it.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's exhausting, dizzying and requires a huge amount

0:02:28 > 0:02:31of physical strength to bring the kayak back round.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Randy needs to complete 35 rolls in one minute to set this new

0:02:35 > 0:02:38world record - more than one roll every two seconds!

0:02:38 > 0:02:40That's a lot of rolling.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44Randy came up short in his first two attempts,

0:02:44 > 0:02:47getting 27 the first time and 26 the second.

0:02:47 > 0:02:52Both incredible feats of strength but not enough to get the record.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54He heads out one more time.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58This is his last chance to beat 35. Come on, Randy!

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Ready!

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Three, two, one!

0:03:04 > 0:03:07First roll.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Second roll, third roll. He is on a roll!

0:03:10 > 0:03:16Amazing effort by Randy, spinning so fast his moustache is a furry blur.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Remember, 35 is the target.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24He's going so fast he must be feeling dizzy. Keep going, Randy.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28This is unbelievable! It's a final push. Come on, Randy!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Stop!

0:03:32 > 0:03:36That was amazing to me, but was it officially amazing?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Did Randy get 35 rolls or more?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40You had...

0:03:43 > 0:03:45..27 again.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Wow!- Excellent.- Great job. - Thank you very much.
