The Oregon Open Ocean Classic is an 7.5 mile, North to South Stand Up Paddleboard race along the Oregon coast from Beverly Beach State Park to Nye Beach, Newport. This is a through surf /downwind race that provides paddlers with great ocean conditions along the beautiful Oregon shore.

The Le Mans beach start will have participants charging through the surf to reach the open ocean. Once outside, paddlers will head offshore ~1/2 mile and then South 6 miles riding the prevalent 10 -20 knot winds and swell around Yaquina Head (pictured below). The finish will be through the surf at historic Nye Beach in Newport. Be sure to mark this one on your calendar for the weekend of August 28th, it will be a blast.
