Last year he has even had his go at two world record distance attempts. After learning from those experiences, on November 7-8, he will go after his own record of 101 miles with the hope to start a trend of 24-hour paddle challengers. Although he is not shy of insane physical challenges on a paddle board, this will be Shane's first event under his new nutritional regime.
