Denmark's Jacob Bliksted Sørensen has successfully completed his 1 000km solo charity kitesurf expedition between Mozambique and Kenya in aid of his campaign, Mission: Safe Ocean.
Setting off from Pemba, Mozambique, he took 24 days to kitesurf the 1 000km distance along the East African coast to Mombasa, Kenya, completing the journey with just one day remaining. Over the course of this journey, he surfed just over 2 000km.
Bliksted Sørensen is a general manager at Hong Kong-based ship owner Pacific Basin and the founder of Mission: Safe Ocean, a campaign to raise awareness of the root causes of piracy in the Indian Ocean, to support seafarer safety and to raise money for two charities, the Mission to Seafarers and African Development Solutions.
