Cyril Derreumaux. Athlete. Explorer. Adventurer. Inspiration & 3x World Record Holder
Cyril Derreumaux is truly one of a kind. There are only a handful of people in the history of the world that have done the things that he has.
Cyril has paddled his kayak (named Valentine) across both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, solo and unsupported.
He is the ONLY person in history to paddle both oceans in this way.
And for the record, the Pacific took him 91 days and the Atlantic, 71.
Can you imagine?
Before that he kayaked across, he rowed the Pacific with a crew of four guys, also unsupported.
These accomplishments have landed Cyril in the Guinness Book of World Records 3 times. Incredible.
In addition to these feats, he also speaks 6 languages, is a keynote speaker, coach and mentor and is a positive and infectious force for good.
Cyril has done the work and he’s accomplished incredible, unimaginable feats of human perseverance and determination; and his mission is to share what he’s learned, along with the tools and tactics, with the world; to help others reach their full potential and to break limiting beliefs.
He’s been written about in Esquire Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Men’s Journal and many more.
Cyril is truly one of a kind and will leave you inspired and ready to go conquer your next big adventure.
