Jeremy-Burfoot-1 51-year old pilot Jeremy Burfoot is aiming to break some records by traveling from London to New Zealand by jetski. He has been inspired with that idea from his first officer after he managed to travel around New Zealand on jetski in 2006.

The distance which he needs to pass on his jetski from London to Auckland is about 32.000 km and estimated time of his adventure would be about 4 months.

His risky adventure has not been welcomed by his wife which calls him “idiot” for trying do do such thing but, it seems that it doesn’t takes much effect on him while he is preparing for the trip. He is starting his attempt to break the record for the longest ride of personal watercraft tomorrow and he is planning to finish the trip in November.

One of his goals is to raise awareness of cancer diseases after he has been battling with skin cancer for a while.

He already managed to successfully travel 5000 km around New Zealand so he might be able to do that again but this risky trip will last little bit longer.

He has also created a Twitter account for those who want to stay update with all his adventures during his long journey.
