What to expect on the Fishguard Bay Ocean Race 2023
Racing for the Welsh Ocean Ski National Championship, FBOR Line Honours and Class Trophies
Fishguard Bay Ocean Race 2023 (FBOR’23) is a major downwind race for Ocean Racing Skis, along Pembrokeshire’s wild, award winning 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 and a final sprint up the beach at Newport Surf Lifesaving Club.
The Fishguard Bay Ocean Race 2023 will be the 8th year of this annual tussle and was awarded Welsh Ocean Ski National Championship status in ’21 by Canoe Wales.
Paddlers from all over the UK and beyond compete to show their extreme fitness, navigation, boat-handling and seamanship skills, to win this “black-belt,” no-holds-barred ocean race.
