Starting next week we will be having races every Thursday evening from Marine Park. This will be a points series featuring a different course each week. Courses range from 2.2 miles to 6.5 miles. The series is open to single surfski/kayak, OC-1 and SUP. Other boats are welcome to race but only singles are eligible for points.

Scoring will be based on the number of boats in a division.
1st place: # of boats +1pt
2nd place: # of boats -1pt
3rd place: # of boats -2pts
4th place: # of boats -3pts
etc….

Divisions are:
Surfski
Under 18
19-40
41-60
60+
OC-1
Under 45
45+
SUP
(Note: we can add divisions if there are enough boats to support it.)

In the interest of promoting different paddling disciplines we will award double points to OC on week 2, SUP on week 3 and surfski on week 4.

Registration will be open online and starting at 5:00 on race day. There will be a pre-race meeting at 5:45 and the start will be at 6:00

PFD and leashes are required.

Parking might be a bit tight at the park so please consider carpooling or launching at the Community Boating Center.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone next Thursday, August 3rd to kick off the series!
