From what I understood, this was a fundraiser event first and foremost. The Guinness record was a "gimmick" to encourage people to participate, not the other way around.
The entry fee was reasonable, IMO, however I don't think there are enough kayaks on the lake to break the record (there may technically be enough, but you're every only going to get a fraction that have the time and interest in any given event like this). I'd estimate you'd need to have a population of 8,000 kayakers in the immediate area in order to get enough to show up to break a record.
