THE ELITE of PWC OFFSHORE When Offshore Personal Watercraft Racing comes to mind, there is only one event that fits the description!
The LB2CAT, the global standard for offshore PWC racing is the longest standing offshore race in the world announces the compilation of the 2009 LB2CAT DVD!
It begins in Long Beach California where only the best of PWC endurance and offshore racers will head out to sea covering roughly 30 miles to the island of Santa Catalina. The turnaround for the remaining 30 miles of open water transit is off the island's jeweled town of Avalon. Racers find the grueling ride back to the mainland to be the true reality check of man/woman and machine. The Pacific Ocean channel waters offer a changing and technical landscape to navigate as fog, open ocean swells, race boat mechanical failures and rider fatigue can take a toll. Once returning through the 'Angels Gate' of the Jaws of the massive Southern California harbor mouth where the city of Long Beach looms with its skyline of buildings that stand as beckoning sentinels, a measure of relief is experienced! But it's not over until you pass the iconic Queen Mary, the Dome that used to house the Spruce Goose, and finally the long anticipated Sea Tow finish line boat. Discover through this exciting visual capture from helmet cameras, helicopters, boats and interviews how they do it, why, and what does and doesn't work! Hard Core Offshore!
The Long Beach to Catalina (LB2CAT) PWC offshore race has been around for years, amazing racers from all over the world have competed at this prestigious race.
