The beginning

I work in a fun consumer PR company in Sydney called One Green Bean. Scott works on events in our sister creative ad agency Host. We both work big hours on pressured jobs and have sparse time for hobbies outside of school except surfing and letting the social kettle whistle. We all need more than work and beer sometimes so this project is about proving that however busy life is, there's always room for some adventure...and then more beer. About a month ago we were sitting in a pub in Surry Hills on a Sunday having just done a surreal press conference at the Sheraton with 5 WWE wrestlers and one diva in town for a live tour at Acer Arena. It's a varied and bizarre job that we have. Later that night we were in wrestling masks slugging bundies and shouting with a 17,000 strong crowd of red necks watching the Undertaker slam Batista whilst 6 year old kids screamed blue murder and middle aged men spat froth. Anyway, before this we'd been chilling out and sipping on skooners of carlton in a more civilised fashion when off hand Scott mentioned that he'd decided to paddle the east coast of Australia. A member of Scott's family was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and this was his way of helping, coping and making a difference. This is where it all began.
