Paddle Jam 2019 - Guinness World Record Raft Up!

WORLD RECORD: Largest Floating KAYAK RAFT
Be a part of history as we attempt to set a new Guinness Book World Record for the largest floating gathering of kayaks !
On Saturday, April 6, 2019 at 3:00pm, we will attempt to set a World Record on the Apalachicola River by rafting-up over 3500+ kayaks. The current Guinness World Record was set by One Square Mile of Hope (USA) in Inlet, New York, USA, on September 13, 2014 when 3150 kayaks and canoes rafted up together. We can beat this with your help!
This amazing event will take place at the confluence of the beautiful Apalachicola River and the Apalachicola Bay. Put-in locations will be spaced out at public landing and private marinas along the Apalachicola River. Kayaks will gather and be linked by boaters arm in arm or paddle to paddle and assembled for 30 seconds.
All proceeds from the Paddle Jam 2019 Official Guinness World Record "Kayak Raft Up" event will go to helping low income and At-Risk children, youth, and families in need through ReCharge Community Outreach.
