Highlighted by Dana Brown's movie, Step Into Liquid, Dale Webster is known for surfing 14,222 days straight. He didn't miss a day, even when sick. Arranging his life to keep the streak alive (where he lived, where he worked), he made his way into the Guinness Book of World Records. 

From Surfer Magazine's coverage: 

“There was a solid south swell in September and I surfed everyday during the swell,” Webster told SURFER in 2015. “Each day the waves got better and better. After surfing 85 days straight, my friend said, ‘You should try to surf for 100 consecutive days.’ When I got to 100, the story was in the local newspaper. That publicity gave me a little pat on the back to make it to a year. So then the challenge became a year. And so forth.”

Staring with that fateful session on September 3, 1975, Webster would go on to surf for 14,642 more days (riding a confirmed 43,923 waves in the process). Inspired by iconic surf heroes Doc Paskowitz and Phil Edwards, three waves to the beach was Webster’s requirement for each session.

Why would he do this? Probably a number of reasons, but one of the primary reasons must have been a love for the ocean.
