Man Will Make History By Riding A Waverunner Non Stop Over 10,000 Miles, Live On The Waverunner For Over 8 Weeks To Break A World Record And Feed Hungry Children

SAN DIEGO / EWORLDWIRE /  July 14, 2003 --- Hoby Paulk, 44, father of 3 will be attempting to break a world record by riding a Yamaha waverunner for over 10,000 miles in the Pacific Ocean launching from San Diego on July 18, 2003.

Paulk will not get off of the waverunner- he will eat, sleep and ride on the waverunner until he has broken the record. He will not touch ground until he has reached his goal.

Paulk an advocate for children- will be riding for Feed The Children- a non-profit organization that helps feed and care for hungry kids around the world. Paulk is already well known for his previous waverunner events- last summer he lived on the wave runner for 14 days in San Diego and he repeated the effort for 7 nights at Trump Marina in New Jersey in the cool - rainy weather of Sept.

What makes this event even more special is Hoby’s disabled web designer and long time friend, Ryan Hudson Peralta, will accompany Paulk. Ryan will be making a 30-mile waverunner ride from Newport Beach to Catalina Island. Ryan’s ride is special because Ryan is doing this even with his disability of having no hands, short arms, and short legs. Ryan was born with a genetic defect- but he feels that there are children worldwide that are in a worse position than he is, and he wanted to help!
