HEAD OF THE DART STARBOARD RED PADDLE DARTMOUTH – TOTNES
What an excellent event, great to see so many recreational paddlers taking part in the near perfect conditions. but also to see the strength in depth within the team both on and off the water pulling together in making this a truly inspirational event. Lots of tired but happy faces looking forward to HOTD 2017.
MARIE BUCHANAN STARBOARD DEVON
Lovely to get on the water yesterday evening after the Head of the Dart SUP challenge, for some ‘me-time’. Paddling back to Dartmouth at a nice sedentary pace. Congratulations to all who completed the 8 mile HOTD challenge in what looked like perfect conditions. Disappointed not to take part this year…I found being amongst the land crew watching the race & helping out much tougher on me than racing itself! Lovely to catch up with all my paddling friends from near & far! Feeling fired up to get myself ready for my next race.
