  • Michael Walther plans to cross the Atlantic Ocean alone on a stand-up paddleboard from Portugal to South America.
  • The journey, covering 6000 km, is expected to take 3 months with around 4,000,000 paddle strokes.
  • This extreme challenge symbolizes the step-by-step effort needed for significant changes, akin to climate protection.
  • The route includes passing the Canary Islands and Cape Verde Islands, heading towards French Guiana.
  • Walther will face various conditions like storms, calm periods, and isolation during the 2500-hour journey.
  • Modern communication equipment will allow live tracking and updates from the Atlantic.
  • The project, set for September 2025, requires collaboration with partners sharing a vision for a sustainable future.
