BRICK, NJ —
Rowers of all ages will gather at Beaton Boat Yard in Brick, NJ to experience
the competition, camaraderie and wide array of unique craft in what is New
Jersey’s largest surfboat rowing event. Viking Promotions’ signature event, the
New Jersey State Rowing Championships, covers 7 miles of the open water of
Barnegat Bay, passing through 14 beach communities from Mantoloking to Seaside
Heights. This is a rare opportunity to see not only many of our areas top rowers
(many lifeguards and former lifeguards), but a wide assortment of rescue boats,
self-bailers, dories, Jersey Skiffs, and custom craft.
The race, with over 12 boat classes, 5 age groups and 5 rowing combinations,
is instituting an “Exhibition” class this year open to any rowing craft. This
years sponsors include O2GO water, Outback Steakhouse of Brick, NJ, Fosters, and
Carlisle Paddles. The entire event is a benefit for the Toms River Seaport
Society and Maritime Museum, a volunteer association that houses, restores, and
maintains wooden boats as part of American history. More information about the
event including pictures, registration forms, course descriptions, and rules can
