Start Deep Water Bay, Kayaking out towards Ocean Park near orange bouy around 700m out and go around and return to Deep Water Bay. Note if choppy see the Race Director might either shorten course or change direction of course going towards Middle Island 700m and return to Deep Water Bay. Minimum age 5. One person must be at least 18 yrs old in kayak for safety reasons. FUN and not a serious race.
Family event is not a serious race as designed for fun without timing. OK we will do timing, but idea is too have fun and enjoy yourselves and not go crazy trying to race each other. Time limit is 50 minutes for kayak and total 1 hour 30 minutes for complete race.
