In the words of Event Director Ricky Van Rickley, "This is more than a paddle. It’s more than miles. It’s a mission to save lives, spark healing, and remind people they’re not alone."

Mission 50 is more than a 50-mile paddle. It’s a powerful event bringing paddlers together to support veterans, service members, first responders, and their families.

We’re proud to support Task Force Hydro1 and its mission to raise awareness for mental health and the healing power of water.

ARE Tahiti supports Task Force Hydro1’s Mission 50, a 50-mile Florida paddle raising funds for veteran, service member, and first responder mental health.
