Welcome to West Palm Beach, Florida, site of our next record attempt, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
here in this body of water. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
It's lovely and warm in here! Are you going to have a paddle? | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
Ben, where you're from, there might be a goldfish or two. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
This is America, buddy, we have alligators. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
Al, why didn't you show me that sign earlier? | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
This next guy is not afraid of alligators. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
This is American kayaking colossus, Randy Fine. What a name, what a man! | 0:00:38 | 0:00:44 | |
He's been kayaking for over 30 years, but not non-stop. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
He's held a number of records, including the 24-hour | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
open ocean kayaking record, where he paddled an incredible 120.6 miles. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:58 | |
And he has a magnificent moustache. Swoon! | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
-Hey, Randy, how's it going? Can we have a chat? -Sure. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
There's gear for you to get into, then come on out. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
I'll show you how it's done. Kayak is my middle name. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
I thought it was Leslie. Sh! | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
I'm doing better than you. At least I'm seated. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
-Yeah, but you're on land. -That's a technicality we'll get to later. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
Here goes nothing! | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
-Oh, no, mine is gone! -Now who's doing better at kayaking? | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
This is how it's done. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
Maybe not. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
You don't have a clue! | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Meanwhile... Uh-oh... Me neither. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
I got it now. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
-Why don't we just get Randy over here? -Good idea. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
The reason I was so bad, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
I was worried about alligator attacks. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
-Are there any? -Yes, I've seen quite a few over the years. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
Have you ever been attacked? | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
I've been lifted out of the water and I see them frequently, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
but I get away from them. For the record I'll do whatever it takes. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
Randy, what is the record you're going for today? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Most consecutive Eskimo rolls with a paddle in one minute. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
This is an Eskimo roll. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
It's a complete 360 degree turn of the kayak | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
named in honour of the Eskimo people who first developed the boat | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
and the skill of rolling it. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
It's exhausting, dizzying and requires a huge amount | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
of physical strength to bring the kayak back round. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Randy needs to complete 35 rolls in one minute to set this new | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
world record - more than one roll every two seconds! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
That's a lot of rolling. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Randy came up short in his first two attempts, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
getting 27 the first time and 26 the second. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Both incredible feats of strength but not enough to get the record. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
He heads out one more time. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
This is his last chance to beat 35. Come on, Randy! | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
Ready! | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
Three, two, one! | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
First roll. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Second roll, third roll. He is on a roll! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Amazing effort by Randy, spinning so fast his moustache is a furry blur. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:16 | |
Remember, 35 is the target. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
He's going so fast he must be feeling dizzy. Keep going, Randy. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
This is unbelievable! It's a final push. Come on, Randy! | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
Stop! | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
That was amazing to me, but was it officially amazing? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Did Randy get 35 rolls or more? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
You had... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
..27 again. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
-Wow! -Excellent. -Great job. -Thank you very much. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
Randy upbeat despite being eight rolls short of the target | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
and not getting a Guinness World Record today. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
But he's still the massively moustachioed king of the kayaks. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
