Dear Chaz,
Thank you for sending us the details of your recent record proposal for 'First Crossing of Lake Michigan (US) by Kiteboard'. We are afraid to say that we are unable to accept this as a Guinness World Record.
We have looked at your proposal in detail but as you yourself mention it would be a first. A 'first' is not necessarily, in itself, a record — records have to be breakable, measurable and comparable, e.g. tallest, fastest, heaviest, etc., and tend to have arisen as a result of a great deal of (usually international) interest and competition.
We realize that this will be disappointing to you. However, we have considered your proposal fully; in the context of the specific subject area and that of records as a whole, and our decision is final in this matter.
Once again thank you for your interest in Guinness World Records.
Yours sincerely,
A. B.,
Records Management Team
