He's flippin done it!
On January 18th Shaun started his epic journey rowing across the Tasman.
His aim.... to be the first person ever to row solo from Aussie to NZ.
We are so proud of you fella!
Tasman Rower Shaun Qunicey with Nathan Rarere, Dean Lonergan and Ross Blackman
At approximately midday today New Zealand’s latest legend, Shaun Quincey, put his feet back on NZ soil after 54 days at sea!
After a campaign that was marred by setbacks, Shaun can finally claim to be the first man to row solo from Aussie to NZ after his father, Colin, completed the same feat in the opposite direction some 35 years ago!
The final hurdle, the landing, was the most dangerous of the whole trip as 3m+ swells slammed into 90 mile beach forcing Shaun to ditch his boat in the surf break and swim the rest of the way in whilst TT2 surfed and rolled its way to shore!
Shaun and his support team would like to thank the sponsors and supporters who turned up to Ahipara early this morning to drive up and down 90mile beach as Shaun’s landing changed a few times.
Shaun is absolutely stoked to be on NZ sand and to see his family and friends once again.
