KAYAK RACE SERIES
 
 

The Paddlers Winter Series 2010
This is a monthly event where every paddler is encouraged to come along and set their best time over a set course. There are two distances so even the newest and unfittest can come and get involved. There is no restriction on the type of kayak as the aim is to improve your own times. There are some conflicting views about the seriousness of the event but for most people it gives you an extra push to do a paddle against the clock - the only person you have to beat is yourself.
