What is Ocean racing ?

Ocean racing is a sea kayak marathon. With 7 to 45 km distances, races take place on rough waters or deep see from island to island. Specific kayaks are used, called surf skis. These are sit-on-top, self draining and unsinkable. With a length from 6 to 6.7 m for .4m wide, they are designed for speed and deep sea surf.
