The registration for the 2023 Surfrider Sonoma Coast Blue Water Paddle Race is now open! Register on Paddle Guru.
Any paddle powered water craft can enter. If you don’t see your division, for example you want to paddle a sheet of plywood, contact us. Yes, the famous Pet Division is alive. Grab your goat, gopher, cat, wallaby, or aardvark and show us what you can do. Okay, dogs included too.
The annual Blue Water Paddle Race is held each October at beautiful Doran Beach in Bodega Bay. The Sonoma Coast Surfrider is proud to do what we can to keep our oceans clean, healthy, and vibrant. Proceeds from the race go towards that end. We are a small chapter in a beautiful area. Hopefully you can join us in person for the best little race around, going strong since 2012!
