6-time world champion standup paddleboarder Casper Steinfath has always been curious about the upper limits of wind he could paddle against and got the chance to test his power and skill with the help of a massive fan.
“This whole process was an interesting exercise in adopting a mindset to chase something we always try to avoid.” -Casper Steinfath
Steinfath set up his experimental course in Copenhagen and cranked up the fan to a Beaufort scale rating of 10-11 (55 to 72 miles) and paddled his guts out until he finally relented. How long do you think the average SUPer would last?
“Next up Hurricane force?” –Casper Steinfath
Just for laughs Steinfath cleaned out his garden shed to see how some household objects would handle the raging wind.
