Do you need a leash and PFD for the Easter egg hunt?

No, but you may need to sign a waiver in case you trip or choke on an egg, or the egg contains gluten, nuts or any other allergen

Bit short notice mate, don't think I'm gonna make it.

What a great day out with the family!

Adam from Think did a great job getting this off the ground in less than a week and everyone who attended had perfect conditions to demo over 10 skis with a couple extra made available by people attending.

A bib thanks to Mark Hardy the local Fenn and Carbonology dealer for bringing his skis as well.

I imagine it was kinda like speed dating would be like jumping from one ski to another to another, was interesting to feel the slight differences between the elite skis I paddled (Fenn Elite SL, Think UNO and max, Carbonology Atom). Not long enough to really make any firm judgements on speed, all have thier little differences between primary and secondary. I knew I would have to paddle the skis on a lake to really compare properly but was a good introduction in a little bit of boat wash and current, none of them felt like they would send me swimming.

Look forward to more Rockingham blast races between other events in the future.

It's on again, the guys from Think Kayak WA and Paddle West have teamed up to put on another big demo morning in Mandurah.
