Ocean Sports Centre Events
Looking for things to do on the weekend? The Ocean Sports Centre is a great place to start.
We just love hosting an event. Throughout the year we play host to a number of events and activities for all ages and abilities. We will announce them on here and through our social media accounts so give us a Like and a Follow and we will keep you up to date with anything we have up and coming.
The Bucca Kri
After the massive interest in 2020 for this one of a kind we were devastated not be able to run the Bucca Kri – but on the grand scheme of things it really was very low down on the list of important things occurring that year. With optimism in our hearts we thought that there would be no doubt that we would run in 2021 – unfortunately, this is now not the case. With a significant number of offer seas competitors wanting to take part in this event and with international travel in limbo in light of mainland Europe’s third wave we are simply going to make a clean start in 2022. Not only that, we even have the Worlds leading figure heads arriving that same week for the G7 summit, rummer has it the British flagship aircraft carrier, Queen Elizebeth will be parked in the bay, effectively closing it off to all water users for an indefinite period of time!
With full restrictions being lifted by June 21st, G7 our June 5th date was cutting things too fine. Hence, our move to 2022 for a similar date (first week of June).
Future updates will be announced via our Facebook page (Ocean Sports Centre) and included here.
Take care everyone.
The Celtic Cup July 3rd & 4th 2021
After the amazing Tropic like conditions in 2019 the 2020 was locked and loaded but we all know what happened next. Lockdown has taught many things, resilience being one – we are very proud that we will be able run this year and will be the first ocean race of the National series. If the number of enquires we have had so far is anything to go by combined with the conditions of 2019, its going to be a cracker.
This two day event will incorporate Stand Up Paddle boards, Prone paddle boards, Skis and OC1 & 2 (small craft) as well as big boat (V6) in both technical (short course) and distance disciplines. All big boats will run on Saturday only while small craft races are held on Sunday
Sea Monkeys SUP Race Series
The past 12 months have been challenging to say the least for everyone – with lock down restrictions lifting and many major events cancelled or rescheduled there is not much left for paddlers to aim for.
The Sea Monkeys Super Saturday is a three event series (May, June July), stripping racing back to its simplest form either in ‘Challenge’ formats designed for fun and the challenge of making it around a course with no pressure to out perform others (a separate page with what this entails will be launched very soon). Later in the same evening high octane fast and furious action hits the water with straight forward categories, innovative formats for racers and teams across multiple crafts.
