16th East Coast Ocean Surfski Championship is open to Surfski, SUP, Prone Paddleboard, Outrigger Canoe and Surfboat over 6 and 12 mile ocean courses.  The race courses are visible from Hollywood Beach and along the inside line, friends and family members may cheer on their racers.  Proceeds of the event go to the Hollywood Beach Safety Competition Teams.  We are honored to host this historic event!

All starts will be wet with paddlers/crew on their craft.  The finish will be dry where the racers will paddle to the beach, dismount and run/jog/walk/crawl with their paddle a short distance to the finish line.  Boat caddies will gently move craft to the beach to insure a clean finish area.

Safety of the paddlers is a prime concern.  Leashes and Vests are required for all paddlers with the exception of lifeguard paddled Spec Surfskis.

Several manufacturers and experts will be on the beach offering demos and basic instruction along with event sponsors showcasing their products.

Racers will receive event Rash guards - Refreshments at the finish line for racers
