Tour de Indian Arm


Date: Sunday May 4th Start Time: 1pm

For 2008, we are offering two new race routes. A long 19 km course and a 10 km course. We will head out into Burrard inlet in the hope that there will be some afternoon inflow winds.

This rugged west coast fjord is a great venue for this epic small boat race. Racers from South West Canada and Northwestern USA congregate for a friendly and fierce competition. Open to Kayak, Surf Skis, Outrigger Canoes and Dug-out Canoes, it's a great event. Categories for Men/Women, Sea Kayaks, Fast Sea Kayaks / Surf Skis / Outrigger Canoes / Double Kayaks, Co-ed Doubles.

We have moved the start back so our friends from the south and Vancouver Island don't have to wake up too early.

THINK Kayak International Challenge

NEW FOR 2008
We have teamed up with our friends in Bellingham, Washington to offer this double header weekend race. Participate in both the Tour de Indian Arm and The Whatcom Classic and help your respective nation win the cup.
