The monthly paddle or race depending on what you want out of it. Using the Canning Bridge Rowing course in Mt Pleasant, participants will nominate the time they think it will take them to do the 4.2km loop. Race it, paddle it, cruise it, whatever you like - you just can't wear a timing device, stop or go backwards.
The winner is the person closest to their nominated time. There will also be prizes for the most improved time from month to month. Additionally we will have a leader board for the fastest times as a comparison to the other 4.2km time trials done around Australia.
Where - Deep Water Point at Canning Bridge
When - Saturday 8th of July Time - 0730
Cost - Free!
Board length - any size you like, just figure out what time you'll do

You must submit your nominated time to Ian Lane - ianlane@iinet.net.au before 9pm Friday the 5th to enter the PaddleLoop.
If you just want to record a fast time you can turn up on the day. Great opportunity to meet everyone and get involved in this fantastic sport on a beautiful part of our river. Good for the kids too!
All Fun, All Free and All Welcome!

The weather is looking chilly, which means it should be a great time to paddle. Just to be sure to pack warm shoes and socks to put on after you paddle.

If you have any questions about the timing side of things, then please call me: 0412 919 176

See you and your SUP buddies there.
Cheers,
Ian

I'm in, looking forward to it!
Everyone is talking about it as a great fun event. A light easterly at Canning bridge is very sheltered.

who will get closest to their nominated time? (I'm still deciding whether to go hard or cruise )

Cruze on at 16 flat for me not sure about the 2 deg brrrrrrrrr

It maybe cold, but the best way to avoid feeling chilly is to get moving - so we will see you there.
Everyone says they will cruise, but as soon as the word "GO" gets mentioned, you can't help but give 100%.
Plus there are Freddo Frogs up for grabs
Invite your SUP'ing mates and email through your times...

FREDDO FROGS!!!!
I may make the trip from Falcon

You may have just started another prize division...
The person who has travelled the furtherest to participate - Now that has to be worth a Giant Freddo.
Think you could be the winner of that one/won!!!

Dare ya.

Might have to blow the dust off the 17" and see if it still floats

Basha might be able to make an appearance this Saturday, my lads rugby game is not till 10.20!!!! Someone might have to show me what to do though its been a while lol .

Check out the latest list of participants and their estimated finishing times so far.

Email or Phone me to get your name on the list... (ianlane@iinet.net.au or 0412 919 176) by 7pm tonight.

Great fun and very entertaining presentations - well done guys!
Over 20 paddlers.
Had a good tussle with Nicola, who is very fast. Fantastic to see so many new faces just having fun paddling on a beautiful morning.

You can see who left the Cott early (jenks) few of us there for our Mentawis team meeting who were thinking of doing it think the beers took over , would be good to have board type on that race splitter if it was possible
Some good times keep it up bring on the DW season

Beers....
You guys had switched to the reds when I left and were already talking sideways.
Great to see heaps of new faces at the PaddleLoop though. Top effort by everyone just to be there. I'm still waiting to get feeling back in my feet

Well done everyone on another great paddle.

Line honours: Nicola Masci (28.04mins)
Closest to estimate time: Derek Jones (30sec over) and Tim Walker (40sec over)
Most improved: Chris Le Messurier - improved by over 7 mins!

Excellent work Sam who is 10 years young! Hope to see more of the young ones on the course in the future.
Excellent work Jade the first female sup'er.
Excellent work Paul, Tim & Clint - it was their first or second time paddling EVER!
