Outrigger Paddlers Perform Well

Busy, busy….

Last weekend the club fielded mixed crews in the 41km beach changeover events around Magnetic Island.

Training continues - Shingley Beach to “Stingray Beach” (named by the club because there are lots of stingrays) at Bluff Point was the course for the clubs’ Saturday morning paddle, a mere 16.5 kms.

Both OC6’s took advantage of the gentle SW 5 to 10 knots and focused on technique, adding a race finish in the bay around from Bluff Point-there’s always a race sometime!
