Annual Paddle Race
Saturday October 4, 2025 at Doran Beach
The registration for the 2025 Surfrider Sonoma Coast Blue Water Paddle Race is now open! Register on (coming soon)
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.
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!
