3 to be Free: A SeaPeople Challenge to Reclaim Your Freedom
It’s easy to feel stuck. Stuck in the routine, the traffic, the notifications, the cold (or the heat), the everything. But no matter where you are in the world, whatever season, whatever vessel, there’s one universal truth:
Getting on the water makes you feel free.
And that’s what this challenge is all about.
The 3 to be Free Challenge - What to do
Between Tuesday, July 22 and Monday, August 4, we’re challenging Sea People everywhere to complete three boating actions:
• Track 3 trips,
• Or post 3 updates mid-trip (PLUS plan users),
• Or mix it up. It’s your call.
Salty or fresh, long or short, find time for yourself in the coming weeks.
Why “3 to be Free”?
Because sometimes freedom is a SUP ride at sunrise.
Sometimes it’s a solo sail or a fishing mission with friends.
Sometimes it’s skipping the couch and hitting the lake, even if it’s winter where you are.
This challenge isn’t about how far you go, it’s about remembering what movement, nature, and water do for your soul.
We’re talking:
• 🧠 Freedom from work stress
• 🚘 Freedom from traffic
• 📱 Freedom from scrolling
• 🛋️ Freedom from the same four walls
• 🫁 Freedom to breathe, float, move, and be present
Boating is your way out. This challenge is your reason to go.

Paddle, Sail, Power, Drift…
