Long Shot's collaboration with Vibe The Wave
Long Shot is proud to sponsor Vibe The Wave as they take on the World’s Toughest Row across the Atlantic on December 12th 2023. With only six oars, a 24ft boat and no prior rowing experience; Maddie, Grace and G are set to redefine adventure as they row over 3,000 nautical miles from La Gomera to Antigua. They will carry essentials for survival, including dehydrated food rations and a water maker for desalinating sea water whilst navigating waves up to 30ft tall.
Our support enables Maddie, Grace and G to focus on physical training, equipment sourcing, and raising funds for their chosen charities – The John Ratcliffe Hospital Neuro ICU, Empire Fighting Chance, and Kidney Wales. By sponsoring Vibe The Wave, Long Shot joins "The Vibe Tribe" in inspiring women and girls to dream big and take on challenges whilst raising awareness of sustainability and climate change. On their voyage, they will use a second-hand, more sustainable boat, limit single-use plastic, and collect ocean plastic along the way.
Our collaboration with Vibe The Wave is a testament to the shared values of determination, strength, and resilience. We are thrilled to be part of a journey which symbolizes the spirit of taking a chance – a true “long shot”. Our seltzers will also be there to toast to their courage whilst they attempt to break the record for the “World's Most Remote Cocktail Party" whilst on their voyage across the ocean.
We are thrilled to be part of Vibe The Wave’s journey and wish them all the best of luck on their voyage across the Atlantic.
