It is one of the toughest & longest among Ocean7 challenges. Since 1961 only 78 swims are succeeded in crossing this Kaiwi channel, Prabhat is the 53rd successor of the Kaiwi channel. This portion of North Pacific difficult to swim windy, choppy, big swells moreover huge marine creatures and night swim makes this swim more difficult. It was too windy that day the kayak was flip on Prabhat twice. After fighting tough conditions, Prabhat completes this swim in 17hrs & 22min. Prabhat finish swims at the very small Allen Device beach, where few swimmers could finish their swim. Read National Events!
