What is a Surf Rowing race?

Up to six surf boats leave the beach perpendicularly with the waves, which they must cross, before rowing out to sea for 350 meters before making 180 degree turn. The boats then must return to beach tackling the surf again by rowing and surfing the boats to the beach after which a crew member jumps from the boat to sprint on the sand to a flag which they must touch to attest arrival of the team. The unexpected never stops until the last second of a race!  The adrenalin oversize in this competition was especially designed for the benefit of the public and our sponsors.
