Thomson says wanting to go outside his comfort
zone was the motivation for a 12,000 km
unassisted skateboard journey across three
continents.Thomson's journey through Europe, North America and China has ended in Shanghai after 462 days.
The 28-year-old from Christchurch said today that he hoped to have the feat recognised by Guinness World Records.
Asked why he had undertaken the journey, Thomson said: "I struggle with that question sometimes as well."
But the main reason was that he had wanted to push himself.
"I took a couple of years of my life to put myself outside of my comfort zone," he told National Radio.
