Paddling the open sea
at the Coastal Team
Challenge in New York.
OPEN SEA
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.
