Stand Up Paddle Industry Rally Behind 4th Annual Sea Paddle NYC

By: Surfers Environmental Alliance

NEW YORK, NY - Less than 50 days remain until stand-up paddlers from around the world converge on Manhattan's waterways for the 4th Annual SEA Paddle NYC. As participants continue to register and train for the 28-mile charity paddle around Manhattan, organized by Surfers' Environmental Alliance (SEA), key figures in the surf, stand-up paddle and entertainment industries have come on board in support of SEA and the paddle's eight autism beneficiaries. This year, avid waterman, extreme sports extraordinaire and environmental advocate Tom Jones is not only joining industry legends for the paddle around New York, but is in the process of making history leading up to SEA Paddle NYC. Jones is currently traveling the 2,800-mile stretch between Key West and New York City via paddle board to advocate for a plastic-free ocean. Now along the coast of Georgia, he should arrive in New York just in time for a celebration paddle around Manhattan with SEA's 200-plus participants. If successful, Jones will break his own previous World Record for paddling 1,200 miles along California's coast.
