Long Beach Rowing Association is pleased to announce the inaugural Summer Solstice Regatta, featuring prime rowing conditions in the Aquatic Capital of America.

This Masters regatta replaces the long-standing LBRA Spring Regatta, previously held in March of each year two weeks prior to the San Diego Crew Classic.  We've reinvented and moved the regatta by three months for several reasons:

  1.  Weather conditions in March, especially winds, often forced cancellation of events and difficult regatta operations.  March can be least favorable, whereas June is most favorable, for rowing in Long Beach.

  2.  Juniors and collegiate events held in the spring often created contention for resources, such as referees and volunteers.

  3.  June is the perfect gateway to the Masters competitive summer season, a month after the Gold Rush Regatta at Lake Natoma, one month before Southwest Regionals, two months before US Masters Nationals, and three months before FISA Worlds.
