Come And Try Ocean Swims, the esteemed ocean swimming club in Hobart, is thrilled to announce that we will be hosting a thrilling surf boat racing event. For those of you who may have never witnessed the sheer excitement of this sport, let us give you a taste of what it's all about.
Picture this: a team of four rowers, equipped with immense strength and unbreakable camaraderie, battling the mighty waves of the ocean. With the sweep serving as the master of the craft, steering the boat towards victory, these surfboat crews embark on a fierce head-to-head race. Starting from the beach, they row through the crashing surf, venturing into open waters before making a sharp turn at a designated set of turning buoys or cans.
But the race isn't over yet! After rounding the cans, these fearless crews race back to the beach, each staying within their designated lane or alley. As they approach the shore, the objective becomes clear – catch a wave and surf to victory. Yet, this isn't merely about speed and agility. The sweep's role is crucial, as they skilfully steer the boat, ensuring it remains upright and gracefully rides the face of the wave.
