From his explanation I understood that the boat he is in is quite well equipped for such a trip. It automatically balances out and turns over on the correct side in case of the wave flipping it. Aurimas also uses a piece of rope connecting him to the boat at all times in case of him falling out. There is also a solar panel powering multiple advanced GPS systems, radio and electronic compass. He also has an emergency bag that has radio anchor capable of transmitting an emergency signal with its location. Overall talking about his personality - he isn't one of those guys who would do something spontaneous for likes. He has quite an experience and sports background. From his interviews before the trip it felt he knows what he is doing and has what it takes. I hope he will make it happen.

Rogue waves aren’t the most dangerous things out there besides storms. Unruly seas are unpredictable, and some bad waves at the wrong time give you bigger troubles than a rogue wave.

Rogue waves aren’t toooo dangerous for him, since his craft is so small.

Don’t know if brave is what he’s more.
