Head’s up — crew racing begins again in the Shores! Rowing season starts February at the RWS lagoon.

Stanford’s schedule is:

• Sat, February 25:  Stanford vs University of Victoria
• Sat/Sun, April 14 and 15:  Stanford Invitational
• Sat, April 28:  Big Row vs Cal

Favorite places to watch the races:

THE START of the race at Shell Blvd. You’ll feel the power as the shells leap to full speed in five strokes.

THE BRIDGE at Bridge Pkwy. From above you can see the race from start to finish or you can go under the bridge to get up close and personal as the boats zip by 20 feet away.

THE LAUNCH dock at Paragon Point. There is a beehive of activity. This is team headquarters where supporters and family hang out.

THE FINISH line near the Sofitel.

It’s great to take a bike and spend time at all these places. Bring your camera as there are photo ops everywhere.

Take advantage of an activity that makes Redwood Shores special.
