INTRODUCTION TO OUTRIGGER PADDLING

Hi Members

Its time to start recruiting for next years season and so the first weekend of each month I will conduct Introductory Sessions. These are a perfectly safe, non stressful and low energy introduction to our sport and an ideal way to bring new people in, rather than expose them immediately to ocean conditions or the higher fitness requirements of our normal paddling sessions.

Be sure to tell your family, friends and work colleagues and of course you are welcome to attend as well to help out with the instruction or even have a go at steering! Be sure to let me know names and numbers to make sure we have enough people there to steer and supervise all the paddlers.

To all new paddlers looking to try this sport for the first time. Conducted in the safety of the Marine Stadium it will include a short safety briefing with approximately 1 hour of paddling and basic instruction.

When: This Saturday 3rd July at 9am
What to wear: Hat, Sunscreen and clothes that you don't mind getting splashed (it is a water sport so please don't wear good clothes or expensive sun glasses)
Where: Meet next to the containers on the club beach (see here)
Required: Book you place by calling Grant on 0413 595 538 before noon on Friday. Please download, print and complete the Indemnity Waiver (click here)
Cost: There is NO cost to participate in this session.

Cheers, Grant

Gold Coast Cup 2010 Race Start Location

Hi Paddlers ... Just to confirm tomorrow's race start WILL BE at Greenmount Beach.

Paddle for Sale

Xylo P2 outrigging paddle in near new condition for sale $150.00 (new $270)
Series 2 all wood paddle with green 'Tuff Stuff' edge protection.

Is a good first paddle for either 6 or 1 man canoe. Length would suit someone 5'9" to 6'0" but should be able to be cut down if you know someone who can do this.

I will have the paddle with me at training each week if you want to try it out or view. Alternately, contact Grant on 0413 595 538
