According to a news release from the outdoor retailer, it could be a world record for the longest modular kayak ever and L.L. Bean will be submitting an application to the Guinness World Records for consideration.
The kayak used in the attempt, the Point 65N Modular Kayak, is able to be joined together in sections, thus creating a kayak that was more than 407 feet long.
The attempt was made on June 2 at 11 a.m. at the L.L. Bean Paddling Center on Lower Flying Point in Freeport. The successful attempt was met with applause and cheers from the employees and spectators in attendance.
