Kiwi Ultra-marathon swimmer Jono Ridler is attempting to swim the length of the North Island in an attempt to break the world record for longest unassisted swim.

He's also raising awareness for the health NZ's oceans, and making a clear call to end bottom trawling. 

He joined Matt & Tyler to discuss his attempt, and what it means to him.
