March Madness!

Country vs Country Challenge

The country that you were born in is the country you compete for. If you were born in Australia, you need to record the state you were born in. Every week in the March Madness campaign record your km's on strava, every record you submit please list your country name next to your name and help your country to the victory.

At the end of March we will tally up everyones record and see which country/state paddled the furthest, to be crown strongest country/state of 2024.

Also part of the country vs country challenge is for each person to record how many pieces of rubbish they collected on each paddle. We are calling it Plogging - a portmanteau of "paddle" and the Swedish word for pick up: "plocka upp". It means, you guessed it; to pick up litter as you paddle. We want to see people embracing the concept of combining fitness and environmental action.

Please list on your Strava entires the pieces of rubbish you collected and your km's. Which country/state will be crowned the fittest and cleanest.

Leading into race 2 of the series with the Palm Beach Playoffs.
Paddlers will enjoy the 13km short course ocean event from Mona Vale Basin to Palm Beach or the 20km long course from Long Reef to Palm Beach. Sydney’s Northern Beaches is already a hotspot for Surf Ski paddlers and finishing at the iconic Palm Beach is a perfect setting.

Saturday 6th April, 2024 @ 2pm is the 13km short course and 20km long course. The course will reverse if necessary depending on the wind direction. If severe swell occurs an alternative course from Palm Beach around Lion Island and back will be employed and if severe winds occur an alternative course from Bayview to Palm Beach inside Pittwater will be employed.
