The 2025 Water Safari was shortened this year due to flooding – instead of 260 miles and ending at Seadrift, we paddled 230 miles and ended at Swinging Bridge. Floodwater from the San Antonio River buried the end of the course. The fastest boats got through, but they were paddling through treetops in the cuts
Race officials made the decision to end it after hearing how wild it was for those faster teams.
We had a great time, and learned a ton. The river moved us fast – our pace was around 5 miles perhaps hour – much faster than we ever dreamed of. And no major mishap or injury.
