Fishguard Bay Ocean Race 2020
The race is on – a 17km whoosh along the stunning North Pembrokeshire coastline for Single Skis SUPs and Prone boards, past towering cliffs, a couple of fun tide-races, skid turn around a wave tossed rock and sprint up the beach at Newport Surf Lifesaving Club. AND, this year we’re keeping fingers crossed for epic downwind conditions!
