I have been wake surfing for 17 years and love the sport. I have taught hundreds of people to wake surf. Going forward, as part of my commitment to Wake For Warriors, I am also hosting events teaching Veterans to surf.
On June 8th 2021, Raccoon Lake in Rockville, IN, I crushed the previous GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for longest consecutive surf time of 8 hours. Raccoon Lake is my home town lake. As I was surfing for the record, my community came out to the banks of the lake, cheering me on with flags as I passed.
In total I surfed ten and a half laps around the lake, a astounding 89.6 miles! This tripled the women’s previous record of 2 hours 18 minutes and 24 seconds, and more than doubled the current men’s record is 3 hours 55 minutes and 2 seconds.
Per Guinness regulations, I had to stop at 8 hours per the judge’s allotted time. I plan to follow this up next year with multiple judges to exceed my record. The event was a fundraiser for Wake For Warriors, who I continue to bring awareness to. Wake For Warriors is a nonprofit organization that helps our injured veterans and their families.
I am also local business owner of Floors For You in Brownsburg, Indiana.
