O amapaense Eliton Franco percorreu mais de 500 km de kitesurf no Rio Amazonas em uma jornada de aproximadamente 16 horas, entre as 8h20 de segunda-feira (26) e as 0h55 desta terça (27).
A iniciativa, batizada de Desafio em Defesa da Amazônia, tem dois objetivos: chamar atenção para a preservação dos rios amazônicos e buscar o reconhecimento de uma marca mundial — a maior distância percorrida em kitesurf em ambiente fluvial em uma única jornada contínua. Os dados do relógio usado pelo atleta serão submetidos a auditoria para verificar distância e tempo e embasar a tentativa de recorde.
O gráfico de velocidade do equipamento mostra que Eliton manteve, em boa parte da atividade, velocidades entre 30 e 40 km/h, com oscilações e quedas bruscas em diferentes momentos. A confirmação dos números depende da análise desses registros.
A jornada foi interrompida depois de desgaste físico e de dificuldades com os equipamentos de comunicação e iluminação durante a navegação noturna. Eliton relatou dormência nos pés, ferimentos no quadril e dores provocadas pela pressão exercida sobre a prancha ao longo das horas de velejo.
