FAQ
The Standard: Brian Chontosh and Team Shut UP & Row Take On The Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge
On December 12, 2022, three former US Navy SEALS and a retired US Marine launched from Spain's Canary Island, La Gomera, in a rowboat race that would last no less than 30 days. What lies ahead? Rowing two men at a time, 2 hours on, 2 hours off-every hour, of every day-until they crossed the finish line 3000 miles away on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
They came together with a shared love of adventure and a mission to raise awareness and support for the Big Fish Foundation, a charitable organization, founded by Chontosh, that helps veterans transition to civilian life through a renewed connection to the fundamental principles of service.
