In 1998, a crew of windsurfers raced across the Atlantic. Louie Hubbard was one of them. The TransAtlantic Windsurf Race — TAWR98 — became a piece of windsurfing history.
TAWR98 — the TransAtlantic Windsurf Race. Weeks at sea, wind power alone, an entire ocean between start and finish.
Thirty years on, that spirit comes home: friends take on a downwind dash along the Sussex coast — Bracklesham Bay to Littlehampton — every mile raising money for Ocean Therapy.
Silent Mayday's Ocean Therapy programme uses time on the water to help young people facing anxiety, trauma and mental-health challenges. The sea gave the TAWR98 crew stories for a lifetime — this crossing is about passing that on.
