L.L. Bean and Point 65 build longest kayak ever

Think it's hard paddling a tandem kayak in sync? Try paddling one with 99 other paddlers, from champion whitewater paddlers to first timers.
In June, 100 L.L. Bean employees did that, paddling a 407-foot 7-inch long kayak, as part of the company's ongoing 100th anniversary celebration.
L.L. Bean created the unique kayak from sections of Point 65N's Modular Kayak, which can be joined together, though usually to convert it into a tandem model.
The world record attempt was made Saturday, June 2, at the L.L. Bean Paddling Center in Freeport, Maine. L.L. Bean is now submitting an application to the Guinness World Records for consideration as world-record for the longest modular kayak ever.
A video of the world record kayak attempt can be seen below:
