EXPECT NOTHING BE READY FOR EVERYTHING "stephan Lambert"
Every year in December the Bora Bora Liquid Festival IRONMANA celebrate the waterman spirit in the pearl of the Pacific ocean. From all around the world, active travelers, families or pro athletes get together in the warm crystal water for sharing and participating in grueling or fun solo or relay fun races and parties.
You can choose the races you want to do or you can just do them all and be a WATERMAN.
Every year new course and new races format so you are always doing it for the first time
It’s no secret that Tahitians enjoy some of the most epic swimming/paddling scenery in the world. Stephan LAMBERT, the man behind this event, mix the most beautiful lagoon on earth with 4 epic days of clinics, live music, dinner buffet, parties and races combining short and long distance in OPEN WATER SWIM, SUP, PRONE PADDLE BOARD, VA'A OUTRIGGER CANOE, SURFSKI…
This event rewards those looking for a personal journey in an incredible scenic, yet very demanding event but also family friendly as you can choose to take it hard or cool.
Some familiar names from California and Hawaii fly in for the event, including Alex Kostich (world master open water swimmer), Jenny Kalmbach (pro SUP paddler), Morgan Hoesterey (free rider), Jay Wild (pro SUP paddler), Riggs Napoleon (pro SUP surfer), Brenan Rose (pro SUP surfer).
They start compete each year against an army of locals and by the end of the journey finish to compete against the only opponent worth it : ONESELF.
This year marks the 14th consecutive year for the festival, which is scheduled to take place from
December 3rd to December 6th, 2014.
