Soak Insure Tide Ride 2025
Saturday 8th November - Sunday 9th November 2025
The Soak Insure Tide Ride will be returning again in 2025 after the success of its comeback in 2024, for two days of racing for all competitors!
The original Tide Ride was an event held for a number of years in the early 2000s. It was a massive festival event sponsored by Red Bull and then by Holt. It even had coverage on the BBC!!
Racing is held at high water. Races are short, fast and testing, with an upwind leg followed by a downwind leg through slalom gates which bring the boats together. This makes for exciting racing for competitors and spectators.
The Soak Insure Tide Ride is delighted to invite:
- 29ers, RS800’s, Waszps and Wingfoiling
We are really excited to be supported by:
- Soak Insure
- Salcombe Gin
- Ovington Boats
- Rooster
- AFS
It's a complicated event to plan, limited to 40 craft per fleet, so early entry is advised and welcomed for planning purposes!! You can be confident in entering early with our 7 days refund policy (see NOR).
Event Format:
Saturday 8th November - "Heats" - 2 Courses and all craft will be racing in heats with live commentary on the balcony.
Fleet Raffle - all entrants will automatically be entered and names are pulled out of the hat during the day for fleets on shore.
Live commentary.
Saturday night – Party Night!
Chilli - tickets available on entry or can be purchased later if needed.
DJ Freddie Covell – All competitors and HISC Members welcome to dance the night away!
Sunday 6 October – more "Heats", more raffles and more commentary followed by the "Finals" over the Winner bank!
This is a spectator event as much as a racing one, with viewing and commentary from the Club House and on the water Spectator boats.
Notice of Race and Entry Form will be published very soon.
