50-year-old man paddles his way from San Francisco to Honolulu

Antonio De La Rosa, from Spain, just paddled his way from San Francisco to Honolulu. It took the ultra-endurance athlete 76 days in his stand-up paddle boat, celebrating his 50th birthday by himself along the way.

According to AP:

He ate dehydrated food, using heated water, and sometimes fished. He paddled eight-to-10 hours daily and slept every night. But he was always tired because he woke up hourly to check on his gear.

He said he was disappointed to see fishing gear refuse every day of his voyage including nets and line

He used a tracking device to record every minute of his journey and called it a record because he believes no one has ever done what he accomplished. Its a record because I certify it, he said with a laugh.

Here's a video of him approaching Waikiki:
