About Doheny Paddle Fest

Doheny Paddle Fest is all about good energy, ocean connection, and the kind of day that reminds you why you love being on the water. It carries that laid-back but competitive Southern California vibe, where elite paddlers line up next to first-timers, and everyone shares the same respect for the ocean. There’s a natural rhythm to it: the sound of paddles hitting water, the buzz on the beach, and a community that feels both welcoming and charged with excitement.

 

At its core, the event is more than a race, it’s a gathering. Friends, families, and competitors come together under the sun at Doheny to celebrate paddling, push their limits, and enjoy the moment. Whether you’re there to compete, support, or just take it all in, Doheny Paddle Fest delivers a mix of stoke, connection, and unforgettable coastal atmosphere.
