The 2010/2011 Australian Ocean Racing Series (AORS) kicks off again in July and we are pleased to announce Australian Geographic Outdoor as the official magazine sponsor of the series.

Byron Bay will play host to the first event on the AORS calendar. The two day event on the 17/18th July will feature the cream of Australia’s aquatic sports superstars, along with a host of others trying to make their mark in one of the country’s most exotic ocean playgrounds. Stand Up Paddleboards, Surf Skis, Outrigger canoes and Paddleboards will race from point to point finishing on Byron’s main beach in front of the big crowds trying to escape the cool winter of the southern states.

‘The Byron Bay Ocean Paddle’ 20km downwind race on Sunday 18th July is the first of 12 events in the AORS which culminates in January with ‘The Doctor’ in Western Australia. Competitors will take their top 8 results from 12 races to determine the overall placings and series champions across a number of categories. The series is open to all levels of competitors.
