The Race
From Monterey, california to Hanalei, Hawaii
A technically challenging, wild, bio-diverse 4500kms racing across the Mid-Pacific Ocean.
An extreme endurance race where individuals from across the globe gather annually to test themselves against Mother Nature and compete to row thousands of kilometres across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean.
Sleep deprivation, hallucinations, hunger and the ultimate test of body and mind will be balanced by sighting incredible marine life, witnessing the breaking of a new day and sunsets that cannot be viewed from land.
Camaraderie, achievement, self-discovery and pride will be among the many experiences delivered by rowing across an ocean.
