Day of the Longboat 2025 Recap

Day of the LongBoat 2025 weekend set a new attendance record with 450 teams (4000+ participants) converging on to Jericho Beach to row, row, row their boats! In our largest turnout ever, participants in competitive and just-for-fun heats tackled one of UBC’s signature events with so much energy and enthusiasm. Let’s take a look at some of the best from the weekend!


Day 1 Highlights

The sun was out and the boats were moving on the first day! We saw a boatload of teams with great costumes and even had a visit from the Lorax. Check out Day 1 content below!
