Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look this April at how some of the world’s most daring X-athletes use principles of science to achieve their amazing feats that leave us in awe! In an interactive presentation, sports legends from the ZOZI Guru™ team –including Chris Lieto, three-time Ironman Triathlon champion; extreme surfing champion Maya Gabeira and Tao Berman, rated by Sports Illustrated as “ the best kayaker on the planet” -- will show you how it’s done!
