In all, they managed to raise more than $30,000. All of the proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer Foundation.

The intent was to shoot for a world record but organizers decided not to go ahead because of the weather but vow to try again next year.

The record stands at 183 naked zipliners, set in the U.S.
