Fury Water Adventures 12-Mile Elite Race

We’re going all the way around the island!

• Starting at Smathers Beach, paddle west past White Street Pier and then Ft. Zachary Taylor State Park.
• Round the corner and paddle past famous Mallory Square.
• Race past the Conch Republic “Riviera” . . . home to Ocean Key House, Pier House and the Hyatt Resort.
• Head toward Fleming Key Bridge and enter the Gulf of Mexico, then turn right toward Cow Key Channel—a critical juncture in the race due to tidal changes.
• A quick spin past the mangroves and you are headed to the finish line back on Smathers Beach.

Ocean Minded 4-Mile Open Race

To be honest, we are going to watch the tidal conditions very closely the days before the race and then determine the most enjoyable 4-Mile course starting from Smathers Beach. But it will probably look something like a triangle in the following direction:

• The Open Race course will follow in the wake of our Elite racers for the first mile or so and head west from Smathers Beach toward White Street Pier
• At the Pier, we’re going to round a buoy marker and head away from the island for a mile or so toward another buoy marker
• After the 2^nd turn, racers will head to the finish back at Smathers Beach
