What a turn-out! 15 paddlers battled it out today, forget the rain and the cold wind, the serious paddlers still turn up, no matter what. That’s the spirit!
By the way, you will be able to catch a glimpse of one of the spot prices before the next race.
The distance was 10.2km (Mana around the reef, to Browns Bay and back to Mana).
Below the results. Many thanks to Selena for time keeping. If the age group or something else is incorrect please let Joern know.
