How One FIT4MOM Mom Turned Her Workout Passion into a Bold Mission to Save Our Oceans—And Why You Need to Hear Her Story Now

Ever imagine yourself rowing across the Pacific Ocean with your best mates—none of whom have ever even picked up an oar—while juggling life as a mom, fitness pro, and a scuba diver? Yeah, me neither. But that’s exactly the wild, inspiring ride Shelby Davoren has signed up for. A few years back, she probably would’ve chuckled and asked, “Do I still get to bring snacks?”—because who wouldn’t? Now, she’s gearing up with Team Rising Tide for the World’s Toughest Row Pacific in 2027, a brutal 2,800+ mile journey from California to Hawaii powered by little more than determination and some serious muscle. What’s astonishing is, this adventure didn’t set sail in the middle of the ocean—it all kicked off in Kailua, O‘ahu, amidst the stillness of a pandemic, with a heavily pregnant Shelby simply craving a chance to step outside.

If someone had told Shelby Davoren a few years ago that she’d be training to row across the Pacific Ocean with three of her best friends—none of whom had ever rowed a boat before—she probably would’ve laughed and then immediately asked, “Wait, do I still get to bring snacks?”

But here we are.

Shelby is a mom of two (Quinn, 4, and Madison, 2.5), a dog mom to Hecate and Calypso, a Pilates instructor, a SCUBA diver, and now, a member of Team Rising Tide, a group of ocean-loving adventurers preparing to take on the World’s Toughest Row Pacific in 2027—a grueling, 2,800+ mile journey from California to Hawaii, powered by nothing but oars, grit, and a whole lot of heart.

But this story doesn’t start in the middle of the ocean. It starts on land, in Kailua, O‘ahu, during a pandemic, with a very pregnant Shelby looking for a reason to get out of the house.
