I have entered a Triathlon in June which includes the Virgin Kitesurfing Armada Guinness World Record attempt for the ‘largest parade of kite surfers’ – a record currently held by a group that includes my younger brother - hoping to take that from him!
Subject to the whim of the wind gods I will be kitesurfing a mile, running a mile (in a wetsuit) and then stand up paddle boarding a mile. Please donate even if it gets spoilt by poor weather.
The sponsorship is for The Armada Trust, a registered charity to distribute all funds raised through Kitesurfing and SUP Armada events to a range of fantastic youth and rescue charities. Seems like a good idea for a teacher of land locked students in Oxford!
(Roger Taylor was my father-in-law who was a Navy Officer, Headmaster and loved the sea)
