A competent Stand Up Paddle Boarder is, after 2 weeks of wind and tides and sleeping on the beach, is about to cross the end-line in Ketchikan. He could do it this evening, but he might knock it off until morning before going in. He’s been very disciplined in sticking with his plan for a day’s work and a night’s rest, which no doubt played a role in making it.
Given the low winds for the bulk of the race, he had an advantage, and leads a half-dozen sail boats much bigger than he.
This is a major feat in the SUP world. Geez, it’s a feat no matter which world of reality you are in.
