Why Do We Paddle? Outrigger Whitsunday

Outrigger Whitsunday recently asked the question - Why Do We Paddle? on their Facebook page as a part of the Come & Try program to be held on Saturday 11th.  Organisers were excited to welcome 36 members of the community keen to see what outrigger canoeing was all about.
Club President, Kim Dodds, greeted the new paddlers giving an overview of the sport and what to expect in the morning’s program.
“What a great start to the New Year!” Kim has stated. “Our ‘Come & Try’ day was a huge success. We had an amazing turnout from our community and got to meet new people”. Paddlers took to the water in 4 OC6 canoes, followed by a get together and BBQ.
If you would like to give outrigger paddling a go, just contact the club on its Facebook page or contact Kim on 0428 173 651 or Michelle Lynes 0421 159 852
