Campionato Regionale Ocean Racing Reggio Calabria

The event scheduled for June 7, 2026, in Reggio Calabria is the Campionato Regionale Ocean Racing (Calabria). It is organized by the local association A.S.D. Dragon Team Reggio Calabria (often referred to as ASD Dragon Boat due to their specialization).

Event Highlights

• Nature of the Event: While the club’s name suggests Dragon Boats, this specific event is dedicated to Ocean Racing (Surfski). It serves as the official regional championship for Calabria, sanctioned by the FICK (Italian Canoe Kayak Federation).

• The Venue: The race takes place along the famous Lungomare Falcomatà, often called "the most beautiful kilometer in Italy."

• The Course: The waters of the Strait of Messina provide a world-class venue. Athletes must navigate the famous "Scilla and Charybdis" currents, which create technical whirlpools and waves that are perfect for surfski downwinds.

• Categories: It features SS1 (Single), SS2 (Double), and Outrigger Canoe (OC1) categories for Junior, Senior, and Master levels.
