Recreational day of kayaking (Sunday)

Young or old, fast or slow, everybody can join! This day we dedicate to the whole family.

We will enjoy a half day of recreational kayaking together. There will be no competition, but we will organize some fun games and activities along the way. In this event you are welcome to bring your own kayak, or you can rent from Bahia Rica (NB! We have only a limited number of kayaks – “first come first serve”).

The family events we will organize are as follows:

• Kayak instructions and skill practicing
• Children’s kayak event (fun obstacle route close to the beach) ages 8 to 14 years old
• Ball games and other games on the beach

Note:
Bahia Rica will provide Dagger Specter and Wilderness Tsunami kayaks. If you have your own kayak and it is similar to these you may use your own. However for the fairness of the competition we do not allow other types of kayaks.
Recommendations for the competition and family events:

• The organizer provides life jackets with the kayaks, but if you have your own you may use it. NB! we have very few childrens life jackets so make sure to bring for your children!!
• Kayak gloves (for the individual race)
• Use a hat/cap and sun screen with high factor.
• Sun glasses
• Comfortable gear that can get wet.
• Have a lot of fun!
