Join us for the tandem kayak competition and enjoy the beautiful views of the island of Ugljan and the nearby islet of Galevac, around which there is a competition route of 2 laps (about 2,700 m).
For the competition, we have prepared sit-on-top kayaks that are unsinkable, stable and easy to use. Before the start of the competition, we will make a short introduction about kayaking and the scoring rules of the competition.
The race starts from the land, from where the competing couple tries to run into the sea with a kayak as quickly as possible and start rowing. The finish line will be set in the shallows. Each participant registers for the race independently. If you do not have your own rowing partner, the organizer will assign you one. Mixed pairs (women and men) take part in the race.
No previous experience with rowing? Don't worry - you will master this marine discipline very quickly, and everyone who wants to prepare for Sunday's competition can practice the day before, on Saturday, September 23, at a free kayaking workshop.
