I first connected with Hericane Rowing leading into the World’s Toughest Row Pacific when I met with them to do an interview about their upcoming adventure. We had a great chat at a café in Pacific Grove, and I learned a lot about the team, their boat, and the race that would be the toughest physical and psychological challenge of the team’s lives.
We met again with Kristen Hofer after the conclusion of the race and what started as an interview evolved into the short film you are about to watch. When we screened this short documentary at the Lighthouse Theater in Pacific Grove on Friday October, 11th, the audience was visibly moved. This team overcame every obstacle, battled storms, broke oars, capsized, had equipment malfunctions and yet still completed this incredible and grueling race. This is Hericane Rowing, and the World’s Toughest Row Pacific 2024.
