Offshore Super Series

The Offshore Super Series (OSS) is an offshore powerboat racing organization founded in December 2003 by 30 of the top offshore race boat teams in the USA. The teams were dissatisfied with the way their sport was going. Before the founding of OSS, the offshore racing sport had seen many attempts to create money-making franchises, often dubbed as “NASCAR on water.” These attempts were never fully realized, leaving a wake of unpaid debts and lawsuits.

The Offshore Super Series set out to change this. OSS is organized as a not for profit corporation, run by a democratically elected Board of Directors. OSS is organized into classes of race boats. Each class bringing 5 or more member boats to OSS has a right to nominate two directors on the OSS Board. The basic principle is “one boat, one vote.”
