Doug Woodring, its race director, created the concept of a Carbon-neutral Relay.During the race, the swimmers will encounter the Wall, one of the few body surfing sections found in an open water swim race in Asia. The Wall is an 800m section of rock wall on the Stanley Peninsula where swimmers can virtually ride the waves downwind as they swim.
