What is the Fishguard Bay Ocean Race – FBOR?
We are a two-day open-ocean paddlesport competition for Ocean Skis, Ocean Canoes and SUPs, racing for the Welsh Ocean Ski National Championship, GB mixed double ski championship, GB team selection, FBOR Line Honours and Class Trophies
FBOR’25 will be the 10th edition of this major downwind race along Pembrokeshire’s wild North coast, starting at Goodwick beach and crossing 17km of open sea to finish on the wide sandy beach at Newport.
You paddle deep clear water, past towering cliffs, a couple of fun tide-races, a skid turn around a wave-tossed rock with a final sprint up the beach in front of Newport Surf Lifesaving Club.
You can read more about the courses by clicking: Saturday Elite Course and / or Sunday Open Course
Paddlers from all over the UK and beyond compete to show their extraordinary fitness, speed and skill in boat-handling, seamanship and navigation, to win this “black-belt,” no-holds-barred ocean race.
You’ve got to be in it to win it!
