Lindsay Warner invited us to share a bottle of his home-grown Shiraz and have a chat about his latest endeavour to ride his jet ski around Australia to break a Guinness World Record. After riding his motorbike all over the country including a solo trip up to Cape Yorke, he began exploring further on his jet ski completing a circumnavigation of Kangaroo Island in SA in 2017 and then Tasmania in 2018. The next logical step was to complete the full lap of Aus!
To follow along with Lindsay’s adventure, head over to his Facebook page Jetski Australia
We hear all about the massive amount of prep work, training, logistics and the development of the ski and support gear over the years leading up to the big wet lap. We discuss the challenges he faces with weather, logistics, communication, equipment failures and the unpredictable nature of open ocean travel on a small watercraft.
Lindsay sees his adventures as a way to start important conversations regarding Men’s Health and is raising money for the cause via his Go Fund Me page.
From the 1st April 2021 you can track his progress via his SpotX GPS by downloading "The SPOT App" and then enter the following name: AUS2020 Password: LWAus2020, and you can follow along with a dot appearing on your screen every 10 minutes.
