Beach Sprint Rowing Hits Virginia | Virginia Beach News

Get ready for the inaugural Jamestown Coastal Clash this weekend — beach sprint rowing hits Virginia shores with a splashy, spectator-friendly twist! Rowers dash from the beach to boats, race through buoys, and sprint back to shore, blending adrenaline, waves, and pure fun. Inspired by beach volleyball’s vibe, this new Olympic-style discipline is gaining national traction — and local stars like Arden Aponte, who recently claimed third at Boston Beach Sprints, are bringing their energy home. The Williamsburg Boat Club hopes this event sparks wider appreciation for rowing — no elite strength needed, just joy, waves, and wild sprints. Come see the future of rowing — right on the sand.
