The discipline involves a head-to-head format and begins on land with athletes sprinting down the beach and jumping into their boats at the water's edge, then racing out around a buoy before hurtling back to dry land, leaping out of their boats and sprinting up the beach. With frequent close finishes, their final move is to hurl themselves through the air to hit the finish line buzzer first and land, usually, with a face full of sand.
