PAOLO MARCONI IS THE LAST PADDLER STANDING!


Last Paddler Standing was billed as the craziest race of the year and it didn’t disappoint. Two days of slow-moving drama and emotion as 18 paddlers attempted to be the last one standing.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in live for this grand experiment — you can now watch a replay of the final 12 hours from our 50-hour non-stop live stream (youtube won’t save longer than 12 hours).

NOTE: YouTube clipped this replay right as Paolo was completing his 48th and final lap, but we’ve uploaded “Paolo’s Finish” as a separate video below.
