Polish rider about to beat Guinness World record in kitesurfing

Polish rider Maciej "Zimas" Zimowski plans to beat kitesurfing Guinness World Records in„The longest kite surfing journey“ discipline. Current record: 369.7 km / 229.73 statue miles was set in May 2010 by Phillip McCoy Midler (USA))

Zimas will be kiting from Peninsula of Suez Gulf in the area of Adabiya Port (29°50'54.71"N, 32°30'8.96"E) to El Quasir Kalawy Imperial Hotel (26°30'40.92"N, 34°4'11.65"E) in Egypt, close to the coastal zone. Time of the challenge was set on between 20 and 30 June 2012, depending on the weather and wind conditions.

Zimowski is a kitesurfing instructor (11 years experience as a kitesurfing IKO Level 2 Senior instructor) and a founder of RedSeaZone kitesurfing school and Nobile Test Center located in ElGouna, Egypt.

Keep your fingers crossed for Maciej!

Good Luck Mike, you deserve it! See you on the water.

well thats some 1600km short of the actual longest kite journes set by louise Tapper up the coast of brazil a couple of years ago.

At least he has a solid back-up plan.

Pre kiting diet also very important for success

... maybe the record their talking about is for one session, ie non stop??? Just guessing!

I guess the longest journey was made by Louis Tapper in Brazil...

this guy did 419km in one stint.

Mike, good luck, hope your'e a bit more prepared than the last guy who tried a Red Sea crossing
I often wondered if you were still at Red Sea Zone, I was in Hurghada for my ITC in 2005 when you were shadowing Niel Godbold with view to becoming an examiner, when I came up to see your school it was still under construction in parts and it looked awesome back then, looks like El Gouna developed a bit since 2005 eh?

Another polish shark bait?
