28 March 2010 - Sydney Harbour

Prepare for the event!

Haven't paddled before? Feeling unfit at the moment? Want to get an edge on your fellow competitors? There is no better way to prepare than to get out on the water and get a feel for what it is like out there!

AROC Sport highly recommends some kind of training before the event to make the experience on the event day more enjoyable for participants. Paddling is a fun activity, but requires the use of muscles that are not normally exercised. There are also very simple tips to paddle more effectively that can be given by any kayak outfitters to improve your technique, and your style.

AROC Sport recommends the following training options.


Pre-Event Kayak Hire & Training

MBKC logo

Paddle in the three seater kayaks that you could be participating in at the Manly Boat and Kayak Centre. There are two locations to train from in Manly: one at OceanWorld and one on Manly Wharf.

TPC

 

Buy a Total Paddle Card and get the cheapest kayaking in Sydney! This card lets you hire a kayak at either location for only $15 for 1 hour.

If you are a female paddler looking for a group to train with, join the female-only fitness classes that run Monday to Saturday at the OceanWorld location, all included on your Total Paddle Card. For more details go to www.manlykayaks.com.au
