Jenning has a second version of the EPIC Ultimate Florida Challenge. This is a two
DVD set. The first DVD is the same as the first release. But the second DVD contains
two very interesting interviews.
First, SharkChow has a long interview giving many details and insights into his
impressive win of the first WaterTribe Ultimate Florida Challenge in 2006. His hint
about using the tides on the St. Marys river is worth the price all by itself if
you are thinking of doing the UFC yourself. Note: this is really a voice recording
- no video.
Next there is a shorter video interview of ThereAndBackAgain (aka TABA). TABA isn't
a complainer so he had never mentioned many of the real issues he faces in these
challenges. This interview opened my eyes and prompted some minimal changes to make
things just a bit more fair.
Special Note: The proceeds all go direct to Jenning. Making this DVD took untold
amounts of money and time. This would make a nice preview for the UF2010 event.

"The purpose of WaterTribe is to encourage the development of boats, equipment,
skills, and human athletic performance for safe and efficient coastal cruising using
minimal impact human and wind powered watercraft based on kayaks, canoes, and small
sailboats."
~ Chief, February 2000
"A life changing experience."
How far could you go in a small boat? Maybe further than you think.
