This open-ocean paddle brings together athletes of all levels for a day of competition, connection, and coastal celebration. Whether you’re paddling with a crew or signing up solo, everyone is welcome. Our format makes it easy to jump in and go — no crew or canoe required.

Registration Options: OC6, Long Course | OC6, Short Course, OC1 Shout Course

Register as an Individual
No crew? No problem. Register as an individual paddler and we’ll place you in a boat with other paddlers from across California and beyond. It’s a great way to meet new people, paddle with athletes from different clubs, and be part of the Expo experience.

Register with a Crew
Already have a crew? Awesome. Each paddler must complete their own registration, then simply indicate that you’re part of a crew and enter your crew name during registration. We’ll use this information to place your crew together on race day.

No matter how you register, we’ll handle the crew assignments and send final race information before the event.

Please note: This event is intended for experienced paddlers only. Due to the open-ocean conditions and course length, all participants should have prior race experience and be comfortable paddling 10+ miles.
