No need to worry about canoe rentals, or if the canoe you paddle will be the same as those you're paddling against. Grab your paddle and bring five friends! This is an Ocean Regatta (sprint) you will need a Steersperson that can keep your canoe straight in the surf.
Location is Cape Canaveral Beach, just south of Jetty Park Beach N Campground, Port Canaveral
The Florida State Ocean Regatta is an OC6 Sprint Race. All canoes used will be supplied by Lokahi Outrigger Club. All Spec Canoes used will all weigh 400lbs.
