The Google search for “Longest Surf Session” brought me to William Laity,
who set a Guinness World Record for surfing 26 hours and one minute in
Huntington Beach, CA, on November 20th, 2010. Laity works for Swell.com, which pumped
up his efforts, but my world record attempt would bring awareness to 26.2 With
Donna The National Marathon To Finish Breast Cancer.
Looking back on the early September research there were some cool
ironies — I published a regional surf magazine in the late ‘80s called Swell, which eventually ceased distribution
when my first child was born on November 20th, 1989. And oh yes, a full marathon is 26.2, not 26.1. Why not look
at the signs?
We are now on the backside of the annual “October Pink Wash,” but
underlying the color saturation remains very important messages that bring
attention to a devastating disease. Sometimes a message as simple as “Celebrate
The Finish” by our 26.2 With Donna Marathon in Jacksonville Beach, FL, makes a
difference. The collective 26.2 With Donna heart that has been demonstrated along
our coastal communities in early February for the past five years will lift the
most weighted-down spirit. It’s a simple message of love and not fear.
Yet a world record attempt was nothing that I couldn’t wrap my brain
around. I’m 50 years old and I have been through my share of strategic planning
sessions and vision-oriented logistic efforts. I relish new ideas with strong
purpose. In fact, it’s what has sustained me as a business owner for over 25
years with The Kurtis Group. The biggest issue with this idea would be the
elements remaining outside of my control — most important, surf
conditions. Predicting conditions on Florida’s East Coast that would allow for
30 hours of reasonable surf is near impossible. I set a “soft” start date of
October 28th at 1:00 p.m. We needed a lot of prayers, good fortune, and luck.
I finally received three documents from Guinness World Records within
two weeks of the announced attempt date. It wasn’t going to be simple. There
was a seven-page “Specifics Guidelines Pack” which included “Guidelines For
Surfing,” “Endurance,” and “Evidence.” The witness and logbook expectations
were intense. Also, there was a four-page overview (for crazy people like me)
that stated multiple methods of adjudication. Adjudication is what Guinness is
all about. If you have some money you can receive “high-powered” adjudicating
services. Obviously I was raising money for a cause and these services were
never requested. Finally was an eighteen-page “Evidence Required” document. This
was the real work.
My fundraising goal was $10,000. In less than three weeks I was already
there between media trades and real dollars from surf shops like Sunrise and
Aqua East. Actual dollars to date is now over $13,000, and my website www.MarathonSurfer.com will remain active through February when the 26.2 With Donna takes place in
Jacksonville Beach.
With a belief that I would get the “right” swell for my attempt I
continued to build a group of individuals that could handle all the Guinness
requirements. Two independent witnesses throughout with one “qualified” in the
sport. A recommendation to substitute out every four hours (I worked off a
schedule of three hours). Ultimately I gathered about 24 witnesses. I also
needed stewards to manage all the documentation. This eventually was The Kurtis
Group agency staff. Led by my wife Margaret, the remaining group included
Heather, Jamie, and Brittany, all stepping up to help coordinate materials over
the 30-hour period. Documentation was handled by a handful of friends that have
the professional credentials to shoot and capture the entire event. Their
attitude and belief in my idea was overwhelming. No one backed off. No one
complained or argued. Everyone just believed.
We needed to get a special surfboard built for the record attempt. Local
shaper Skip Smith learned about what I was going to do and immediately offered
several existing blanks. I chose a wide, thick, 6’4” fish on October 10th. He
promised to get it refined in a week. He did it. The board was glassed by Jim
Dunlop, owner of Mystic Surfboards. The combination of talents was as pure as
it gets. The board turned out beautiful. Once again, the spirit of the surfing
marathon remained intact.
Wave forecasting has come a long way since I jumped into the Atlantic
on a surfboard back in 1974. It has come a long way since I began publishing SouthSwell Magazine in 1987 when the
best forecasts were local-based with a phone call to an 800 line. With Internet
you can start watching international ocean models two weeks out and narrow down
conditions to a three-day window and call them with accuracy. We were
looking at favorable models setting up for the attempt, give or take three
days. I moved the date three times, finally settling on a start of Wednesday,
October 26th at 1:00 p.m. Conditions would be waist-high with moderate ENE
winds and a slight drift north to south. Thursday was projected to have calm
winds with remaining one-and-a-half-foot of swell from an easterly direction.
I knew getting through the night would be one of the greatest battles.
It would be partly a physical battle but more a mental battle. Twelve hours in
the dark on a surfboard would require friends to help in ways I never imagined.
And friends showed up! We had dozens of people surfing at different hours
throughout the night keeping me company. It was a surreal time. I will never
forget Christian Davis pushing me to remain fueled properly; Buddy Evans
paddling out just because he wanted to be out there with us (he surfed for at
least two hours); surf buds like Gary Foster and Scott Wagner; early morning 4:30
a.m. paddles with Tim and Mike Deegan… The support never ended. I was never
alone in the ocean. I can say now that I needed that in the biggest way. But
when you think about our purpose with this record it makes sense — if I’m
left alone to move through to a finish it would have been much harder.
I got slapped around by the ocean for 12 hours in the dark. Nothing too
bad, just frustrating. Sunrise was my goal and I checked the LED on my watch
more than I should have. Ten minutes seemed like ten hours. I caught about 60
waves in the dark from 7:30 p.m. until 7:30 a.m. Sunrise over the Atlantic was
as good as it gets. This was when I knew I could push for another 13 hours no
matter what. However, daylight would still present challenges. I surfed with
renewed energy from 8:00 a.m. through 11:00 a.m. I think I caught about 60
waves in that three-hour period, which matched the entire night. I did not prep
for the hot, long, lazy afternoon, though. After the evening session this
became the second worst frame of time. Between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. I got
cooked in the water with small waves that were difficult to catch. Granted, by
this time I was counting down my three-hour sessions, bragging to a fellow
surfer that there were only three of ten three-hour sessions left. It was still
very difficult. I received a good sunburn and slipped back toward dehydration.
The 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. session reignited me and I caught about
another 60 waves. Several more surfers showed up in the water in the final two
hours as we entered back into darkness. I drank a cold beer in the lineup and
laughed with people I knew and had just met. One young surfer showed up from
Destin after reading online and thought it would be cool to be a part of the
record attempt. The darkness came for me a second time as I floated on my
surfboard. But I knew this darkness was going to be brief.
I looked to the beach and saw the flood lamps come back on. There were
over 100 spectators watching. My heart was overwhelmed. I caught a wave in the
dark and heard the beach erupt. “What the heck is going on?”
We did it. The crowd on the beach counted down the final seconds. Thirty
plus hours and all I was hearing was “5, 4, 3, 2, 1,” a bullhorn, and shouts of
joy. I had caught a wave and it was time to go in. Standing in the shorebreak
there was a loud collective call from mid-tide: “Party wave!” No, I just wanted
to go in. “Party wave!” came again, and three times was the charm. I paddled
back out and heard the shout from behind the lineup: “Wave!” Since we were in
the dark this was the warning. Everyone turned and jumped on the wave to come
in together. I stood up on wave #308 and rode to the beach.
The surfing marathon remained intact until the end.
