Head 2 Head SUP Challenge · 10 July 2017
Peter's uncle, Liam MacMahon, was the first person to windsurf from Ireland to the UK. He windsurfed from Skerries to Holyhead, approximately 102km (56m), back on July 1st 1983.
We are all attempting to make the same crossing this August on Stand Up Paddle boards (not in relay). It's a big challenge and there's a lot of preparation involved, along with a big commitment.
Our goal is to promote water safety, raise funds for the Skerries RNLI and to get people out on the water. You don't have to be a professional athlete or some kind of hero to do amazing things, we're just a bunch of average joe's with big ambitions. Who knows where the project will go, there will certainly be ups and downs, many challenges to overcome and lessons to be learned.
