hydroplanes

The Richland Regatta returns to the Columbia River June 14–15, bringing high-speed hydroplane racing back to Howard Amon Park—for free. With a lineup of modern and vintage boats, live coverage, and family-friendly action, this adrenaline-fueled weekend promises to make waves in the Tri-Cities.

Some kids even tried to 'flood' the street in front of their house so the wooden hydros would throw up a rooster tai.

Who hasn't encountered the ugly slimy stuff when wading or swimming in Columbia or other rivers?

Here's how the Columbia Cup will be run
