Our Environment

Hong Kong territory encompasses a collection of 262 islands and peninsulas in the South China Sea. Ocean paddlers of all craft (surf skis, outrigger canoes and kayaks) experience nature at its best. Beautiful coastlines, blue oceans, and frequent sightings of ocean life combine to make this sport unique. Hong Kong’s often rugged coastline and stunning beaches are the perfect setting for an international class Ocean Kayaking and Outrigger Canoeing race. Not many people realize what a stunning ocean environment exists in Hong Kong, but those who have experienced what we have at our doorstep know that Hong Kong offers some of the best ocean paddling conditions on the planet. This race will hopefully enhance people’s awareness of Hong Kong’s ocean environment and beautiful coastline.
