content: John Bieter Estorpadak races, or regattas, are important events in Basque country. Originating from the practice of fishing boats racing back to port to sell their catch, the first Basque regatta was organized in 1879 as part of San Sebastian's summer festivities. Join this narrative session where Jon Lasa, an entrepreneur who is working to revolutionize traineru racing boats, will speak on the legacy of Basque whaling and contemporary innovations on traditional designs.
