Its a change of life experience takes you from boredem to excitement in about as long as it takes to get on the water.
I've met people from all over Aus in this sport and been to parts of this country I never thought I'd ever go to.
What Club do you paddle with?

About Me:
Been in the sport for 3 years. Owned a Pegasus and now a Wahooo. I've done all the natioal events since townsville and plan to do many more.
2008 Have done Hammo paddeld with Alison Green from Canoe point and
came second in the 16km mixed OC2.
Paddled with Melbourne in the OC6 events The taem was put together by the Gman Grumps and had guys from Vic NSW and QLD. Great bunch of guyswe called ourselves team Mongrel.
I went back to Hammo in 2009 and won the 16km OC2 Mixed event with Alsion Green which we came second in 2008.
I also picked up a silver in the Mixed 16km OC6 event on day 2.
Met Grumps, Clarkie,Rambo, Bondy, The Booze Hound Mick Wilson, and a whole heap other guys through this sport and have a yearly get together at the Nationals.
With regard to the Outlaw Race Al, get onto Wade and see if you can reserve a Stealth. If he gets enough interest he is going to try and get the trailer load down to Vic.
Thanks Al, it was mostly Tan's handiwork...I was just the timer, recorder, flagger, boat trailer driver, radio correspondence...he he he...I could go on forever. Should have been paddling but my canoe had deteroirated after the floods here so I am trying to save (hard for this time of yesr) to get a new one.
Heya Al, thanks for the neat compliments about 'the boy' The nickname use to be "fluffy"! Ha! I guess calling me 'prickly' or 'the dragon' wouldnt go down to well now huh? Shea does love the camera, bit like his dad, he can get away with being on either side of the lens - photogenic (polite way of saying - Poser!) and good photographer!
Thanks Al - hope its okay to call you that. I always give him heaps! and well deserved too - but that goes both ways - lol. I checked out who "Big Al" was with Shea and he said you were real neat and alot of fun, isnt that great - out of the mouth of babes huh?
thanks for the welcome

you may not have missed it, Heh heh!!
Hope training going well, Bro!
