- Charles will be returning to Antarctica in November/December 2018 to chase the world record for the most distance covered in 24 hrs, wind powered with the intention of snowsailing from the South Pole to to Union Glacier, a distance of approx.. 1000 km. Current world record is 825km.
In 2010, Charles travelled Europe and the USA to test the concept of THE SWOOSH. 8 years later this has now been brought to fruition and launched worldwide.
We are proud of the fact that the SWOOSH is environmentally friendly, powered by the wind and leaves nothing but tracks; and can rightfully attest to the fact that The SWOOSH Snowsailer has been tested in Antarctica in 2016. .
He is passionate, not only about adventure, but also about the future of Outer Edge and BLADE and is determined to get people off their butts and to experience for themselves and their families what the outdoors has to offer.
