As a member of the ICF’s global network of 172 national federations, the ACA facilitates opportunities for paddlers to compete in high-caliber ocean racing events across the world via the USA Canoe Ocean Racing (COR) National Team.  

While some paddlesports disciplines are required to select team members, ocean racing is different -- the rule is the more the merrier!  Please head over to the USA COR National Team page for more information on how to participate in international competitions.

Ocean racing athletes interested in ICF Canoe Ocean Racing World Championships participation should contact the ACA Ocean Racing Committee as soon as possible.
