Competition

One of the biggest draws for the surfski community is the opportunity to compete. Many paddlers have come to the sport from other competitive disciplines, such as cycling and triathlon. Races abound, from local, to regional, to national, to international levels. Whether it’s a local weekly race series or the ICF Ocean Racing World Championships, there’s an event out there for everyone.
