Its Spring! Time to revamp yourself with paddling...
Everyone needs a goal. Here is why! Before you go to bed you set an alarm based on your upcoming goal, when your alarm goes off the self talk starts again. The upcoming goal will deliver more positive self talk and this will lead to your next action, are you going to stay in bed for another hour or are you getting up and going paddling.
Let us help you find that goal ..... For flatwater inside Sydney Harbour there are 3 upcoming SHSC Club Champ events (10km) to train for plus the Mosman Marathon (20km/10km) Dec 7th. For the ocean there is Moon Island Sep 21st, North Bondi Sep 28th, 20 Beaches Oct 19th, WA Race week Nov 26th-30th.
Perhaps you want to increase your paddling speed as a goal for September! Or you aim to go up a class level in September or take on our Saturday ocean class, the sky is the limit, just find a GOAL whatever it is and stick to it for a couple of weeks and see the results.

Club Champs - Sat 28th September Race 4 - Rose Bay Clubhouse
Club Champs is so much fun! We have 6 x Club event races for the year and we take your best 3 results to see who are the Club Champs in each gender and age group. Each event is 10km and the course is picked the day before for best conditions.
The first race you do, you cant win. We gather your moving time and the next races you do you receive a handicap start time based off your moving time. We then have a race where we know everyones moving time and we handicap everyone so that the entire field finish with a 100m sprint at the end.
We laugh and support each other with everyone enjoying the cafe hangout afterwards. Each event you can see your progression versus yourself and others.
We encourage you to come and have a go!
Scroll to the date on the SHSC App and book in! A week before the race we will send you a “form” to confirm your surf ski type and your moving time so we can set up the handicaps.
