Jetpilot Australia has teamed up with Coast Around Tasmania as they take on a unique jetski expedition for charity. The project is an epic 1500km ocean adventure spanning over 9 days circumnavigating Tasmania on jetski’s. The journey is all to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention, with donations being collected for Lifeline. The immense expedition will begin in February 2022, with training beginning on the Gold Coast now and Jetpilot joining forces as the major equipment sponsor

Coast Around Tasmania was first dreamed up by two mates (Adam Benz & Shane Ridley) who were looking to raise awareness and support the amazing work by Lifeline. When the Jetpilot team first heard of the journey and the cause we jumped at the chance to help these boys accomplish their hefty goals. We believe that mental health in today’s climate is an urgent and important cause, and have seen the exceptional work Lifeline do in the community to support those in need. Shane Ridley said “If this adventure can help one person access the services provided by Lifeline then that is a big win”.

Adam and Ben will also be joined on the expedition by Shane’s son, Josh. The trio have begun training on the Broadwater of Gold Coast and preparing for the trip with long rides every weekend and extensive exercise programs. In Tasmania they plan to ride an average of 170km per day for 9-days, totalling 1500km and covering some of the most spectacular coastlines Australia has to offer. Their support crew will be a land-based team following them from port to port where they will meet the team to rest and recharge for the next day’s ride.

Coast Around Tasmania is aiming to raise $300,000 for Lifeline and Jetpilot was excited to be able to get involved and support the team. Jetpilot is the official equipment sponsor for Coast Around Tasmania, providing them with a variety of riding and safety equipment required for an ocean adventure. The team has been training in our Cause Neoprene L50 vests and will embark on the Tasmania trip wearing our best-selling Venture Neoprene L50 vests paired with our Venture range of outerwear, footwear and gloves. Check out the product they are taking on the trip below.

The Coast Around Tasmania team is now only 3 months out, so make sure you donate and follow their journey to the big expedition.
