TORPEDO SKINS

OVERVIEW

Twelve transitions between water and air with a predicted 20°C difference in temperature — without a wetsuit. The sudden change in environmental conditions imposes extreme physiological stress on the body. Entry is limited to approved teams only, assessed by our swim safety panel. Torpedo's first black grade event. Only for the genuinely brave.
