Phil Robertson Racing has teamed up with Ocean Crusaders, with two main objectives.

Not only testing the physical and mental limits of the modern foiling waterman, but also enabling action for the environment with beach clean ups being organised in both Denmark and Sweden.

As with any ocean going activity, the challenge will be weather dependant and Phil's team are currently working towards a plan of foiling from Skagen in Denmark to Kullavik in Sweden on Saturday June 15, in accordance with forecasted prevailing westerly winds.

Fans can participate with clean-ups in Skagen (Denmark) and Kullavik (Sweden) by claiming a free ticket here: Day 1 Day 2 and of course the opportunity to meet with Phil on the day.

In addition fans will be able to track Phil with live tracking provided by Garmin, available via philrobertsonracing.com and across social networks.

Despite being in the battle for a podium place towards the end of a very competitive SailGP season and preparations fully under way for a busy America's Cup in Barcelona with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, Phil's passion for local community and the environment are always at the forefront, completing this challenge will be extremely rewarding after years in planning.
