Mac Russell loves coastal rowing. He says it offers a level of unpredictability that you just don't get on flat water. The size of the swell, the sun reflected off the waves, the morphing ocean floor — it all combines to make each race unique. But he also loves it for the pathway it provides him. For much of the last decade, Russell has been one of the world's leading flat-water rowers with an intellectual impairment. However, opportunities for elite international competition have been limited.
