Ep. 986: Paddleboarding Across Alabama - John Knippers

Paddleboard racing: John Knippers becomes the first to finish the world's longest annual paddle race, the Alabama 650, covering 650 miles in just 8 days.

The longest annual paddle race in the world is in….Alabama! It’s the Alabama 650 and John Knippers is the first person to ever finish the race on a paddleboard. Today we’ll hear John’s story and how we was able to achieve a 650 mile paddle in just 8 days.

Also, if you want to meet me and John this weekend, come by the Last Paddler Standing, a paddleboard race that only finishes when there’s one paddler left.

We’ll be livestreaming the whole thing! Follow along on the Facebook page and YouTube to be notified of the livestream for the start on Sat, Dec 2nd at 9am.
