Why race?

There is no better feeling than getting a true sense of where you really are and how much you have improved. It doesn't feel half bad wiping the floor with your competitors either.

The moment that the entire boat has paddled as one is challenging to get to, but amazing to accomplish.

What are competitions like?

Your very own teammates. They making paddling happen.
