This is the second annual Ride the Tide which consists of a 5.2 mile float and race. The Oak Island Parks and Recreation Department sponsors the event with the Adventure Kayak Company and the Blue Water Point Marina and Motel.  You can rent a kayak if you don’t have your own, but be sure to contact one of the sponsors in advance.

The race offers a division for many different age groups plus single or double, male or female. There’s more too. A costume contest will recognize the environmental theme.  Also, a poker run will have cards at five stops and a prize for the winner of the best hand. The award ceremony will be at Blue Water Point Marina.
