Episode 9 Officially Amazing Mini!

Welcome to West Palm Beach, Florida, site of our next record attempt,

here in this body of water.

It's lovely and warm in here! Are you going to have a paddle?

Ben, where you're from, there might be a goldfish or two.

This is America, buddy, we have alligators.

Al, why didn't you show me that sign earlier?

This next guy is not afraid of alligators.

This is American kayaking colossus, Randy Fine. What a name, what a man!

He's been kayaking for over 30 years, but not non-stop.

He's held a number of records, including the 24-hour

open ocean kayaking record, where he paddled an incredible 120.6 miles.

And he has a magnificent moustache. Swoon!

-Hey, Randy, how's it going? Can we have a chat?

-Sure.

There's gear for you to get into, then come on out.

I'll show you how it's done. Kayak is my middle name.

I thought it was Leslie. Sh!

I'm doing better than you. At least I'm seated.

-Yeah, but you're on land.

-That's a technicality we'll get to later.

Here goes nothing!

-Oh, no, mine is gone!

-Now who's doing better at kayaking?

This is how it's done.

Maybe not.

You don't have a clue!

Meanwhile... Uh-oh... Me neither.

I got it now.

-Why don't we just get Randy over here?

-Good idea.

The reason I was so bad,

I was worried about alligator attacks.

-Are there any?

-Yes, I've seen quite a few over the years.

Have you ever been attacked?

I've been lifted out of the water and I see them frequently,

but I get away from them. For the record I'll do whatever it takes.

Randy, what is the record you're going for today?

Most consecutive Eskimo rolls with a paddle in one minute.

This is an Eskimo roll.

It's a complete 360 degree turn of the kayak

named in honour of the Eskimo people who first developed the boat

and the skill of rolling it.

It's exhausting, dizzying and requires a huge amount

of physical strength to bring the kayak back round.

Randy needs to complete 35 rolls in one minute to set this new

world record - more than one roll every two seconds!

That's a lot of rolling.

Randy came up short in his first two attempts,

getting 27 the first time and 26 the second.

Both incredible feats of strength but not enough to get the record.

He heads out one more time.

This is his last chance to beat 35. Come on, Randy!

Ready!

Three, two, one!

First roll.

Second roll, third roll. He is on a roll!

Amazing effort by Randy, spinning so fast his moustache is a furry blur.

Remember, 35 is the target.

He's going so fast he must be feeling dizzy. Keep going, Randy.

This is unbelievable! It's a final push. Come on, Randy!

Stop!

That was amazing to me, but was it officially amazing?

Did Randy get 35 rolls or more?

You had...

..27 again.

-Wow!

-Excellent.

-Great job.

-Thank you very much.

Randy upbeat despite being eight rolls short of the target

and not getting a Guinness World Record today.

But he's still the massively moustachioed king of the kayaks.
