This is a record of a different kind. Growing a pumpkin of 555 kg and then travelling on it for around 75 kilometres is a big thing and a novel idea. Gary the man from USA He told the Guinness World Records, “This record attempt was a challenge I had long considered, finally deciding to pursue it this year when I grew a pumpkin suitable for the journey.”
The pumpkin, nicknamed “Punky Loafster,” grew to an impressive 14 feet and weighed over 555 kg before being transformed into a boat for Gary’s unique adventure. At the time of harvest, it weighed as much as a grand piano.
Gary Kristensen started his journey on the pumpkin on October 11, when he carved the giant vegetable to turn it into a boat.
He also mounted a camera on it to record his journey. He added the words, “It’s real” on the side of his boat, to ensure people who saw him, knew that he was on a real pumpkin. This is a daring act and no one has attempted this kind of travel on the water before.
This is nothing but travelling on a huge vegetable.
