Oregon Open Ocean Classic

Here comes a fun one friends–as long as you don’t mind a little nippiness in the water.

The Oregon Open Ocean Classic is an 11 mile, North to South SUP / paddleboard race along the Oregon coast from Beverly Beach State Park to Newport harbor. You’ve heard of flat water races, down winders and through the surf challenges. This race is a combination of them all! It will be open to SUP and traditional paddleboard competitors.

The Le Mans beach start will have participants charging through the surf to reach the open ocean. Once outside, paddlers will head offshore ~1/2 mile and then South 8 miles riding the prevalent 15 -30 knot winds and swell around Yaquina Head to the mouth of Newport Harbor. The final 1.5 miles will be a sprint between the jetties on flat water to the Yaquina bridge finish.

Registration forms are available online now. Be sure to mark this one on your calendar for the weekend of August 28th, it will be a blast
