The crossing
The eve of the equatorial
crossing is called wog day
Ancient times crossing the equator identified Shellbacks as sailors who had gone further. Today's Shellbacks come from all walks of life. They are those who have accepted the challenge and are continually ready to experience the mysteries of the unknown.

pollywogs receive subpoenas
to appear before
King neptune
and his court
Driven by the spirit of discovery, Shellbacks understand that who they are today isn't who they will be tomorrow. New experiences will continue to define and shape them as they evolve as people.
The court of
neptune
is a ritual
to indoctrinate the
polywogs
into the mysteries
of the deep
To become a Shellback is to become a member of a select group. To join ranks with those who have chosen to test themselves and take the journey. Shellbacks understand that the reward is often greater than the risk.
