Last year Kiwi adventurer Scott Donaldson achieved a world first, crossing 2200 km of the Tasman Sea in a kayak solo.
Over 61 days he battled 'frisky' sharks, massive ocean swells, and physical and emotional exhaustion.
It was his third attempt - a failed effort in 2014 saw him fall short by just 80 kilometres.
He has written a book about his experiences, called Relentless: A Story of Grit and Endurance from the First Person to Kayak the Tasman Solo.
