Catch the Naked Rowers in all their Glory on TalkSPORT!

    

Get the very latest on the Naked Rowers and their preparation for the Indian Ocean Race 2009.

The lads chat live to TalkSPORT Radio 1089/1053AM at 8.30pm this Sunday (Jan 18th).

PR Superstar has also attracted interest from ITV1’s This Morning programme in interviewing the daring duo upon their return from the oceanic adventure.

Ahoy there! Naked Rowers in the News!

Rowers Roger Haines and Tom Lee took to the airwaves today to tell listeners of BBC Southern Counties Radio why they’ll be rowing 4,500 miles across the pirate-strewn and shark-infested Indian Ocean – naked in a tiny self-built wooden rowing boat.

Thanks to their oceanic escapade, the daring duo, from Teddington, Middlesex, are on course to fundraise 100k for charity.

Landlubber PR Superstar is at the helm of the lads’ PR campaign, which has already seen them splashed across the front and the inside of The Richmond and Twickenham Times.

The Richmond Magazine, Living in Richmond and Kew magazine, and Totally Richmond and Twickenham magazine will all carry features on Roger and Tom and their Indian Ocean Race 2009 in forthcoming issues. Radio Jackie will interview the boys next month too. Their national PR campaign kicks off in earnest in early 2009. Keep your eyes and ears peeled!

Big-hearted local businesses have rallied round to lend their support and help cover part of the costs for the ambitious challenge — but more financial help is needed to ensure the fundraiser stays afloat and can hit the high seas in April.

PR Superstar is taking care of the plucky pair’s local and national PR gratis; whilst our old shipmates Media Wisdom Photography and Real Eyes Marketing are kindly donating their first-class photographic and marketing skills.

But why are they rowing naked? Roger and Tom will row naked for much of their 105-day journey to avoid chafing! Ouch!

Shiver Me Timbers! Naked Rowers Ahoy!

Local heroes Roger Haines and Tom Lee are getting set to bravely cross the perilous Indian Ocean — naked in a self-built, plywood rowing boat!

The daring duo can expect monster 50ft waves, 17 species of shark and 10 types of whale during their epic 4,350-mile ocean adventure from Australia to the tropical island paradise of Mauritius, off the coast of Africa.

The plucky pair, from Teddington, Middlesex, depart on 19 April 2009 and are on course to fund-raise more than 100k for good causes, as well as be the first ever duo to row across the Indian Ocean, the world’s third largest ocean.

Big-hearted local businesses have rallied round to lend their support and help cover part of the costs for the ambitious challenge — but more financial help is needed to ensure the fundraiser stays afloat and can hit the high seas in just a few months time.
