[@okonamaroko9419]

Once i was sitting next to him on the train. He was telling stories, and all off them were emazing. I remembered one in particular. He told me that his biggest dream was to see a live shark, and once small one swam next to his kayak, and he dared to touch it. He is such an extraordinary man.

Just try and believe, maybe not particularly that.. I wouldnt be who I am right now if I werent trying.

I actually met the guy. He visited my high school and he was talking about his journeys n stuff.

Jurek Kapaskyy Well, did he say anything interesting?

Jurek Kapaskyy Can you elaborate?

Search for the article "Why He Kayaked Across the Atlantic at 70 (for the Third Time)" at NY Times. It's really thorough and very interesting.

mrjanzabelski Thanks, dude.

Ok, this is epic

[@haley9293]

This man is an inspiration. Reminds me of my grandpa who loves to cycle long distances. I think he feels it keeps him young

[@chelseagrace8453]

I would love to have tea with this man. To listen to his stories would be such a joy.

R.I.P Aleksander Doba! The great man and the greatest Polish kayak daredevil! He had crossed Atlantic Ocean three times with the strength of his muscles. From the city of Police in Poland.

[@Machuter]

He is a legend

this is amazing

[@jesswinter]

Wowwwww this is so freaking inspiring.

[@averagejoe4932]

I just learned of this man and he amazes me. No matter the age but especially at that age to do the things hes done is insane

[@JanKlaeui]

That's a hell of a video! Such amazing shots!

[@JavierEnriqueSampayo]

Dying at 70 doing what you love most sounds like a good life and it's the most legendary way to go I've ever heard of. (A true adventurer). Fun fact: 5,400 km was just his first 99-day transatlantic expedition from Dakar, Senegal to Acarau, Brazil. The second was an expedition of 12,437 kilometers from Lisbon to Florida in 167 days. His third and last was an 8,109 km expedition from New Jersey to Le Conquet, France, in 110 days in 2017. The psychological toll must be very strong. I kayaked half a kilometer to an atoll in the crystal-clear waters of Palma Island, in the San Bernardo archipelago. It was terrifying once you enter the open sea, you could only see a blue void below you. I continued forward, knowing that people on the beach could see me and the resort's lifeguards knew where I was going. There is no way any sane person would go out into the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean in a kayak, I have seen videos of ocean waves that make huge boats look like a canoe. This guy was very tough and I hope I have the balls to be like him if I live to be 70 years old.

[@Sportsbikeguy]

Rest in peace to this great man!

RIA Mr. Doba. That's Rest In Adventure. I think Mr. Doba would be too restless if he rested in peace for too long. (That's why he's an inspirarion to me.) Even how and where he chose to pass away is inspiring.

I wish I knew the secret to being able to set your mind to something and just doing it.

[@libitum_ad]

the secret is there is no secret only determination

[@MrAntajos]

You need to try new things and stay with something that at the end feels like you breathed in fresh air. Something that makes you want to do it again. For me it's yoga atm.

"Doba died while climbing Kilimanjaro on February 22, 2021. According to eyewitness reports he felt well the entire journey but after reaching the top asked for a two-minute break before posing for a photo. He then sat down on a rock and "just fell asleep" " This is how i want my life to end.

[@jbaby007]

I read 7 year old kayaker but looked at the thumbnail like, "Maybe he started at 7?" lol Still very cool.

[@promontorium]

Agree with others, that's not a kayak. Paddles don't make it so. There is a separate category for row boats. Ed Gillet kayaked from Monterey CA to Hawaii, a 2,200 mile trip in 1987. Another amazing story is Oskar Speck who Kayaked from Germany to Australia from 1932-1939.

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

Seriously, who gave him all that food and water? Must have had a boat following?

[@atsukana1704]

Mr Teepawt for half a year? I don’t know about that. Doesn’t quite look big enough to me....

[@TheAgentOfDeath]

well in the clip is showed a big boat lifting up his kayak. So yeah there was most likely another boat following him.

[@mrjanzabelski]

Actually, no one was following him. I've found the article in NY Times "Why He Kayaked Across the Atlantic at 70 (for the Third Time)". There is a lot of cool stuff there. The old man is really short on his budget and would never be able to afford any sort of support (I doubt he would like to have it). The case with the big boat was rather a fortunate coincidence. As they were helping him once when he had some technical issues.

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

Pugmaster000 He needs to have well over 50 gallons of drinking water for one trip. (well over 200 liters. Perhaps over 300 liters for such activity) And with his friends also needing water is amazing u can fit all that water on a small boat. And then you need a 100 days worth of food. Eating on that kayak is an adventure in its own right. And pooping and pissing everyday out that kayak, how the hell? That's a funny image. I wonder how he dealed with all the rain. Must have had some contraption not to fill his kayak and drown? It's more interesting seeing the full adventure. Perhaps he has a documentary..
