The Everglades challenge is a 300-mile unsupported, expedition style race for kayaks, canoes, and small boats. You must propel your craft by either man power or wind, and you must be able to push your boat off the beach yourself, all of these things making it one of the most difficult small boat races in the country. The Tallulah canoe seemed like a perfect fit and we wanted to see if we were up to the challenge. Come with us as we try to avoid pythons, gators, dead fish, and a big black wall of doom!!

That thing is AWESOME!
That was a very interesting video. It is so neat to watch a couple enjoying the same thing and working so well together. Well Done!
Fun adventure, thanks for sharing!
Man, Foils on a boat like this would probably be amazing.
Congratulations and thank you for letting us tag along.
Great build, better race, super video. You guys are awesome.
Well done! Well documented. Looks like you both had a great time.
given that the rear is more designed for pedaling then paddling and those swells make it into the boat: as design-improvement it would seem appropriate to "up the walls" somewhat in that area to keep more of those waves out of the boat
loved watching this!
Intense sailing… boat is sailing beautifully 😮😮😮😮
That was excellent! What a fun boat
What a wonderful experience and a lifetime of memories. Loved the whole process form the boat build and to the challenge 😊.
Thanks!
ITS AMAZING THAT YOU TWO FOUND EACH OTHER. BILLY FROM LONG ISLAND AND SIERRA FROM JUPITER. WHAT A GREAT STRONG COUPLE.
Keen is great for water. I had some trouble using them in gravel. I'll have to give them another try
You guys really seemed to have a good time together with your adventures. Thanks for sharing your love of life, adventure and dogs.
Awesome adventure! “I didn’t want to tell you you had a maggot on your toothbrush this morning.” LOL
THAT was an epic documentary! It was so well done, and so enjoyable to watch! It sure looked like you were well prepared for it to me! It would be nice to know how you finished in the race and what the winning times were for each type of craft. I didn't see your nav lights on when you finished in the dark.
What does the pedalling do?
Sweet boat. Looks super fun. We'll done
