Extreme Athlete Tom Jones sets New Stand Up Paddle Board Record from Key West, Florida to New York City in 92 days.

Tom Jones is an Extreme Athlete. Recently my friend recorded an historic journey to raise money and awareness of a huge problem our planet faces. For years the world has mismanaged a very useful product, that being plastic. Plastic may have a great place in society but it does not belong in our waters.

As an extreme athlete Tom has run the length of California on 3 separate occasions. He has run the length of North America, some 3,170 miles, at a pace of a marathon a day. Jones has run a marathon in the morning and competed in a 5 round sanctioned prize fight that same evening winning by KO in the 3rd round.

In 2008 Tom circumnavigated the Hawian Island of Oahu 3 times in a paddle, bike, Run in 17 days and in 2007 he stood up and paddle boarded the distance from Oregon to Mexico establishing a new world record of 90 days. Just some of Tom’s exploits of note. You’d think at 48 years old that he’d be tired and happy with his accomplishments. Not so.

In 2009 Tom made a commitment to our future by traveling the distance between Key west Florida and New York City some 1,507 miles on a stand up paddle board breaking his own endurance record by almost 2 weeks doing so August of 2010. Jones is a world class athlete who believes that we can do so much more than we are for our waters. A plastic free ocean is Tom’s dream. You can help.
