Thanks Pete , it's a great cause & we are hoping the format ensures a good turnout & makes this an annual event on the SUP Race program as well as a great day for all to come along with families & friends ..
Cheers Pete

It was a great paddle. Bloody hard slog on the first half against the current but a good hit up. Very happy with 9th place.

Thanks to everyone who came up today to Support the Harry Meyn Foundation, conditions were perfect for all abilities of paddlers to get out on the water and enjoy the day. Here's the full list of results.

A massive big thank you to everyone who paddled,raced,helped out ,joined in, donated & simply came along to enjoy the Harry's Paddle event !! a great success with 30 Racers & roughly 150-200 people coming to say hello .. We reached our target of 100 HANDS for HARRY with 104 hands on the board..

The feedback was positive from those that raced regarding the course & Im excited to hear more from everyone that joined & SUPported this event as we look to make it an annual event for a great cause ..

Thank you to all :)
Pete
