Twin Rivers results

Thanks to all the paddlers who raced today, and to our volunteers - Todd, Murray, Ian Mac, Hugh, Nick, Kimberley & Marty (and anyone I've missed!)

A few photos to come, thanks to Amelia!

Important update for Twin Rivers and your boat choice / rudder setup!

Expect some floating hazards waiting to attach to your rudder as you head upstream. Could be a fair bit of w**d making it's way downstream on the Ōpaoa. Nothing like an extra challenge especially in those last few kms 😀

Twin Rivers is almost upon us again!
