Coastal Rowing Promotional Video Shoot
Rowing BC is working with Point 2 Media to capture some great shots of coastal rowing in action at Tulista Park (Sidney, BC) and Cadboro Bay (Victoria, BC) on March 30th. This footage and images will be used to create new social media content and targeted ads to get more people interested in coastal rowing. Having a successful video shoot day requires the help of some athletes – that’s where you come in!
Fill out THIS FORM if you are available to be an athlete during our video shoot at one or both locations.
Sunday, March 30th

10:30 AM – 12:30 PM at Tulista Park in Sidney, BC
2:00-4:00 PM at Cadboro Bay (Victoria, BC).
Additional details (what to wear, where to meet etc.) will be sent to all participants in the week leading up to the event.
Note: In the event that the forecast for the day is too wet or windy to do a great video shoot, we will postpone for a mid-April date and communicate with everyone who had expressed interest in being involved.

Thanks in advance!

CAMP: Rowing BC Beach Sprint Development Camp
2026-05-24
This Beach Sprint Development Camp is being hosted by Rowing BC, with support from Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA), to provide flatwater rowers already racing at the university level with an opportunity to engage in the beach sprint format. With beach sprints coming to the LA28 Olympics, there is a specific goal ahead for interested competitive athletes!
This camp will give athletes the chance to learn about and practice all of the components of the beach sprint format and prepare for possibly racing at the Western Canadian Beach Sprint Championships in Victoria on June 27-28, 2026. The Western Canadian Beach Sprint Championships is one of the regional selection events available for athletes who may go on to represent Canada at the 2026 World Beach Sprint Finals.
Competing in beach sprints is a great additional opportunity for competitive flatwater rowers. Your flatwater training sets the physiological foundation for both rowing disciplines. Then at the beach you can train the specific skills and techniques for quick launches, fast turns, and good wave management. The beach sprint event calendar focuses on April – August, complimenting the existing university racing season. Its not flatwater racing OR beach sprints, its flatwater racing AND beach sprints!
Where: UVIC Sailing and Coastal Rowing Compound at Cadboro Bay, Victoria
When: Sunday, May 24 from 12 PM-4 PM
Athletes: This camp is open to university/senior athletes who are already experienced competitive flatwater rowers. Athletes must be confident in a single.
