Race Against The Tide
Race Against the Tide season three, is about to make the world’s toughest sand sculpting competition even tougher. Twelve world class sand sculpting teams will compete in a head-to-head tournament on the shores of the Bay of Fundy, in New Brunswick. Divided into two groups of six, the teams will dig, pound, carve and sculpt through four qualifying rounds. The top two teams from each group will face off in a sand flying semifinal. In the end, only one team will reign supreme and walk away with the grand prize of $10,000...and the beach bragging rights of being crowned Race Against the Tide champions.
New Brunswick’s award-winning artist and godfather of Canadian Hip Hop, Maestro Fresh Wes, returns as host, alongside judges Karen Fralich, who herself has competed in more than 120 master-level contests around the globe, and is a five-time World Champion; and Rusty Croft, a seasoned sand sculptor who holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for the “tallest sand castle” as a member of the Sand Guys. He has also appeared on every episode of Discovery Channel’s Sand Wars and Sand Blasters.
A CBC original series, Race Against the Tide is executive produced by Matt Hornburg and Mark Bishop of marblemedia; series producer and writer is Carly Spencer, and Donna Luke of marblemedia serves as co-executive producer. Co-produced with Hemmings House Films, for which Greg Hemmings serves as Co-Executive Producer and Stephen Foster as Producer.
