"INNER CHALLENGE"  -  An Independant  HD Production

  HD TELEVISION SERIES 
 
Breaking new ground. Discovering yourself. Conquering fear. Setting a standard for  the extreme sports world and reality TV production. This season "Gulf Stream Challenge" sets sail for Cuba. Hurricanes, shark infested waters, giant waves, severe heat, darkness,  all alone in the middle of the ocean on a board are just some of the fears that our brave contestants will face as they attempt to cross the western part of the Devil's Triangle. Not by boat, nor raft, but powered by their spirit, determination and their perseverance to succeed.
