Please see below from Callum regarding this very relaxed paddle day which is usually great fun. As an added bonus the kai is always fantastic !
If we have enough people interested to warrant taking a W6 over we will need to get that organised so if you want to paddle in a six please reply on Teamer as soon as possible so we can get organised.
