Sea to Summit sponsors Tasman Trespasser II
Shaun Quincey departed Australia on January 20 to follow his father's footsteps and row solo across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand. In 1977, Colin Quincey crossed the Tasman solo, rowing 2200km and to this day he remains the only person to cross the Tasman solo and survive.
On his epic adventure, Shaun will be using a range of Sea to Summit accessories, a Jetboil stove and will be fuelled by Back Country Cuisine. He is raising funds and awareness for Surf Life Saving New Zealand.
