Last year’s Crossing saw 200 paddlers line up at the start line to stand up paddle, row, prone paddle, surfski and outrigger from the launch in Bimini and paddle across the international waters of the Florida Straits to arrive at Lake Worth, Florida.
This popular East Coast paddler’s event draws individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life to participate in this extraordinary paddle which supports the Cystic Fibrosis community. Learn more by watching this incredible video below.

Build a Corporate Team, Relay Team or Paddle Solo
You don’t have to do it alone. Paddlers are encouraged to create relay teams, either competitive or recreational, in order to complete the Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis. Competitive categories include 2-Person or 4-Person relay teams. Recreational teams can include as many people as can fill a boat to have some fun. 80 miles is so much better shared among friends!
Once you have a team, build out your training plan. Start now and move into 2022 with an excellent fitness goal to set your sights on success in the year ahead. Stay positive! The tribe is here to support you. All registered paddlers receive coaching tips, opportunities to train together in Florida and a membership to possibly the most stoked tribe on the planet! Once you’re on board, there is nothing that can stop you. Your efforts will help another to receive critical funding and programs they need in order to combat this debilitating disease which affects over 2 million people worldwide.

Bold in the Face of Fear: X4CF Gives Breath to CF Warriors
The Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis 80-mile paddle challenge was inspired by the desire to replicate the struggles that CF warriors live with every day. Exhaustion, mental strategies, challenges with physical strength are all a part of the daily experience of people who live with Cystic Fibrosis.
Inspire Every Breath: Ocean Air Helps CF Warriors
What you may not know is that saline or salt water is beneficial for these individuals who struggle with this debilitating lung disease. Ocean air and salt water helps break down the mucus in lungs as well as providing a negative ion mood boost which so many of us take for granted. When Travis Suit, father to CF warrior Piper, learned of this connection, he was inspired to create a paddle challenge to help his daughter. That effort has grown exponentially to become one of the most successful paddle fundraisers on the planet.
When a paddler decides to take on the Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis, he/she knowingly understands the task ahead and chooses to participate in order to help another human find support through the CF community. Are you ready to start 2022 with a goal?
Let’s do this!
