“The favourable conditions at Marine often mean that novices and junior paddlers have a good spot to cut their teeth and gain confidence. That’s a big part of why the Marine Series has been a success for so long and we are excited to be involved again,” said Chalupsky.
The event organiser, Trevor Martin, said he expects it to be another exciting series.
“With seven races and the recent easing of Covid-19 protocol, we hope to see more and more paddlers heading down to the races this year,” said Martin.
