“We witnessed some outstanding performances,” reads a statement from the Strand club, “and the camaraderie among our members was truly heartening. Congratulations to all participants.” It added its paddlers too have continued to make waves, immersing themselves in exhilarating action.
At the Big Bay juniors and seniors competition club members Conrad Kriel finished seventh in single-ski, Jess Love made the women’s ski final, the taplin team finished sixth and the beach-relay team finished seventh.
