- RACE INFORMATION -
Welcome to the 2021 San Diego Invitational!
San Diego Outrigger Canoe Club has decided to host our annual SD Invitational event for anyone, anywhere around the world. For the second year, since permits are still on hold, participation is FREE. We simply want people to get outdoors and get on the water!
Get your OC1, OC2, V1, SUP, or SurfSki and invite some friends to have some fun!
For those who would like to join at a specific time, there will an "On The Water" meet up and start time for each course on SATURDAY October 30th.
OPPORTUNITY DRAWING:
If you would like to participate in our OPPORTUNITY DRAWING, we have some amazing prizes for you to win! Multiple Yeti Coolers, a Garmin watch, Theragun, Waterproof Speaker and more!
- You DO NOT have to participate in the race to buy tickets for the drawing!
- Prize winners are responsible for shipping costs from San Diego, Ca.
DONATIONS:
If you would like to support our club with some gas money, you can also donate here. Anything helps. It does take quite a bit to put this all together.
NOT-REALLY-A-RACE RULES:
- NO registration is needed to participate!
- All race participants, at any and all locations, are doing so on their own. There will be no official boat or event safety team on hand. We highly recommend doing any course with a small group and maintain visual contact at all times.
- Racers should have a PDF, a leash, and wear bright clothing.
- You must track your times and enter them into the form provided
- Virtual Racers should do a loop or triangular course with the same start and finish location. Please don't make a one-way, downwind course, if possible.
- COURSE MAPS -
The LONG COURSE map is subject to change based on weather and ocean conditions.
The Short and Grom courses are set within the bay, with a the start and finish point near Bahia (as shown on maps).
Virtual Racers: Try your best to create a similar loop course and record times and your map with your GPS device. For people doing their own long-course, we simply ask that you try to create a triangled course with a mix of up and down wind sections. Make it a challenge!!
Note: If you want to meet and join at the "Start" times, please adhere to all social distance and safety protocols (on land and water).
