Sun Haibin
Mr. Sun is Head of Adventure Sports at Beijing Sports University. He is China’s (and Asia’s) first ocean rower. In 2001 he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean with Dane Christian Havrehed in a rowboat built in China. Sun also organises Kayak-Bike-Run Adventure Races across China under his proprietary Kabrathon brand, and he is a keen environmentalist. With “The Yantu Project” he focuses on promoting Chinese-Western understanding through cross-cultural nautical adventures together with Christian Havrehed. He is currently working on a multi-year expedition along the Pacific Rim to investigate whether the Chinese, like the Vikings, visited America pre-Columbus. Moving at 2-3kn in his ocean rowing boat gives Sun a unique opportunity to be close to the ocean surface off-shore in far away regions. He looks forward to using the EyeSea app and promoting its use through his expeditions.
