[Paddlewise] 2nd. Father's Day Race.

Dear Friends

 

Here there is the link to our 2nd. Kayak race to honor kayaker fathers on
their day.

 

This time it was turn to Luis Sierra and Jose Rivera. Luis is a promoter of
kayak racing and has been involved in the National Standards, educated his
son to become a champion in Slalom and WW kayaking. Luis also paddles a
canoe kayak converted canoe on his knees, according to the traditional
Olympic class.

 

Jose Rivera is the enthusiastic father of my co-organizer colleague and the
cook, or better said gourmet  in our expeditions. He does not paddle but
gives us as much happiness. 

 

We had 36 competitors, three in doubles. 

 

Following CKF and Paddlewise suggestions we divided the boats in three
categories Sea Kayak, Fast Sea Kayak and Very fast Sea Kayak, using the l/w
ratio. We also made divisions by age. So, as you may guess almost everybody
got a trophy and happiness was all around.

We had a great competition and kayakers from far cities in the country
showed up to compete and to reinforce previous friendship links from
previous expeditions.

 

Fastest competitor made 16.9 km in 1 55' 27", moving against low to medium
tidal incoming current.

 

Best Regards,

Rafael
