Sweden’s southernmost ocean race is back — and this year we’re proud to host the Nordic Surfski Championships.
The course runs 17–25 km along the Skåne coastline, starting somewhere between Barsebäck and Ystad. We pick the start location based on conditions — we’ll always chase the best downwind race we can find.
