Cheer on the Women's Crew in Long Beach this Fall! Known to the locals as the “Pancake Regatta”,  The Naples Island College Rowing Challenge, or NICRC for short, is an annual regatta hosted by the Beach Crew Alumni Association. The NICRC’s main race is the 4400m head race around the Naples Island, which is then followed by the 850m Novice Sprints. The prize for winning the regatta is the perpetual Queen Mary Trophy and is awarded to the team with the most cumulative points.

Head of the Lagoon was started by a group of master rowers including Ron Hudson and Daryl Winter. It was named after the Monster from the Blue Lagoon movie, and was initially a one day regatta. HOTL has now grown to a two day regatta, hosting junior, collegiate, open, and master teams. This is a gently curving course through the Foster City Lagoon, which is carefully buoyed every year. It is free of currents and powerboats, making this regatta an interesting and competitive race.
