Hi everyone, first-time post so hopefully this is the right spot...
We are running the first ever paddleboard
race across
Lake Ontario this year, and are
looking for a number of escort boats to follow paddlers across the lake.
Some details:
Date: September 10th
or 11th
Location: Crossing from NOTL or Fifty Point Beach, to Cherry Beach in Toronto (depending on wind).
Time: 7 am. Paddlers will be on the
water anywhere from 5 to 8 hrs.
Boats:
VHF radio; big enough to carry a 14' board (if necessary)
Each
boat will follow a paddler across the lake. A field of 35 elite paddlers is set, and this is going to be an amazing and widely-followed community event.
Compensation will be negotiated with your paddler, but expect to have your gas/travel costs covered, plus some extra for your time... $400 to $600 seems to be the range.
Most paddlers have now started their search for a
boat, so please let us know if you are interested in participating.
Email us: niagara2toronto@gmail.com
We will add you to our list, and pass on your contact info to our paddlers.
Thanks!
