Paddling the open sea
at the Coastal Team
Challenge in New York.
WHAT’S MORE
FUN THAN BREAKING
RECORDS?
SHATTERING OPEN SEA
EXPECTATIONS.
Paddling along New York’s southern
Long Island coast, adaptive and able-
bodied athletes in Hobie sea kayaks
overcome tides, changing weather and
occasional passing ships to complete
a 16-nautical mile, two-day journey.
The exceptional power of cooperative
teamwork provides the measure of
success for these athletes.
