SOLO, UNSUPPORTED AND NON-STOP ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN

Start: November 2024

Kyle's Guinness World Record-setting journey across the Atlantic - leaving from Mainland Africa (Morocco) to Mainland North America (Miami) - will require him to contend with; severe sleep deprivation, hallucinations and complete isolation for the anticipated 4 months at sea!

With waves regularly exceeding 40ft, the ocean is an uncompromising leveller. Putting aside the mental demands of this monumental worlds-first challenge, this adventure will require the completion of over 2 million oar strokes and see Kyle losing an estimated 12-18kg, despite consuming over 6,000 calories per day!

Battling Atlantic storms, navigating shark-infested waters, and traversing international shipping lanes will all become part of daily life in the 24ft ocean rowing boat Kyle will call home—all in the name of adventure, raising awareness of skin cancer, and supporting the British Skin Foundation's vital research efforts.

Join Kyle on this incredible journey as he embarks on a solo Atlantic crossing, not just for personal glory but to make waves in the fight against skin cancer. Through his efforts, Kyle is raising vital funds for the British Skin Foundation, supporting their mission to advance skin cancer research and prevention. Follow his adventure (@TheOARburnRower), be inspired, and contribute to a cause that fuels his determination—a world where early detection saves lives, and memories of loved ones, like Granddad Michael, are not lost to this silent enemy.

...there’s a reason more people have summited Everest or been to space than have rowed any ocean solo!
