It was an incredible morning blessed with sunny weather, great for racing. Men’s and Women’s teams from UC San Diego, UC Irvine, and UC Santa Barbara, descended upon the Long Beach Marine Stadium for a series of races along the entire 2000m course. Big thanks go out to our great volunteer staff from the Beach Crew Alumni Association and the Long Beach Rowing Association.

Special thanks goes out to John King for his incredible photography.
