Welcome to the Oak Harbor One Heck Of a Holiday Ride, presented by the OHChamber!

The OH OH OH was originally planned as a glorious 12-mile loop sweeping across scenic Penn Cove to the historic Coupeville Wharf, turning east, then making an open water run back to the starting line. Our shorter course was to offer a 6-mile out-and-back.

...but due to some strong predicted south winds, we've gone to Plan B and we are soooo excited now to offer you:

An 12-mile epic downwind run for experienced, confident big-weather paddlers, from Hidden Beach on Central Whidbey all the way to the Oak Harbor Marina:

Here's a detail of the last half mile to the finish:

...and a Short Course for those who don't want the downwind experience. Three loops of the harbor, right in front of the marina:
