Offshore Racing | National Championship | Clearwater Beach, FL

Adrenaline junkies from all over the world were on Clearwater Beach this weekend for the annual National Championship Races. All their expectations were met: super high speeds, a boat turned over and pulled out before sinking, another boat almost crashing at the turn, race suspended… God bless, there were no casualties.

Team members said this event is one they look forward to every year. They were happy the red tide impacts didn’t ruin the race or their trip. Out on the course, the water looked clear and the beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico and the magnificent Clearwater Beach were taking your breath away.
