Incorporating sailing, kayaking and swimming, the Epic Teen Challenge is geared towards 13 to 18 year olds, broken down into two age categories competing for separate leader boards (13-15 and 16-18).
 

The challenge will involve a two mile single-handed sail in a dinghy around Mongoose Island, before switching to a Kayak or stand-up Paddle Board to paddle 150 metres out into the Bay to a marker buoy and back, then a 100 metre swim from the beach and back.
 

The Challenge, which will take place once a week during the summer school holidays (6 July to 31 August 2013), will be in full view from the resort to allow for plenty of support from spectators. The resort will also hold beach chill outs for teenagers with non-alcoholic sundowners around the new beach fire pit.
 

All participants that complete the challenge will be awarded a certificate with their time, and a Nonsuch Bay t-shirt.  An Epic Teen Challenge leader board, displayed on the Sailing Hut, will keep an ongoing record of the Top Ten Teens with the fastest times.
 

Commenting on the Epic Teen Challenge, Cameron Fraser, General Manager at Nonsuch Bay commented, “This challenge will provide an additional focus and hopefully lots of fun for our teenage guests, while allowing them to consolidate the water sport skills learnt earlier in the week.  We recently introduced a successful Swallows and Amazons Adventure for younger children and this is the perfect complement."
