Regional Open Ocean Racing Competition (Surfski and Outrigger Canoe)

The event on October 24–25, 2026, in San Benedetto del Tronto is a Regional Open Ocean Racing Competition (Surfski and Outrigger Canoe) organized by the local section of the Lega Navale Italiana (LNI).

Event Highlights

• Pioneering the Adriatic: This race is part of a strategic project to bring Ocean Racing to the Adriatic coast, an area historically dominated by flat-water racing.

• Categories: The "Open" format welcomes athletes of all levels, from Allievi and Cadetti (youth) to Senior and Master categories.

• Disciplines: Primarily SS1 (Single Surfski), SS2 (Double Surfski), OC1, and OC2 (Outrigger Canoes).

• The Course: The race utilizes the coastline of the "Riviera delle Palme." While the Adriatic typically has smaller waves than the Tyrrhenian, the autumn period can provide challenging wind conditions ideal for technical paddling.
