Braving international travel, multiple COVID tests, huge swells and a challenging cross-current, a team made of former and current BIAC members raced in Portugal at the World Rowing Coastal Championships, Sept. 30-Oct. 2. This regatta featured racers at a high-level of competition and many recent Olympians. Check out footage of the crazy buoy turns (buoy #1 took down many a boat!), beach runs and insane waves on the World Rowing Coastal YouTube channel here. The A-finals on day 3 are especially exciting! Get inspired and then sign up for Coastal classes at BIAC in 2022 if you'd like to try out coastal rowing.
