The Yough Paddling Club would love it if you and your friends will join us for the Stoneyboater Paddle Wax Boatercross this Friday. Yes, in two days the second of seven ASCI Friday Night Fun Series gets underway with registration at 5:00, athletes meeting at 6:15, and racing beginning at 6:30.
There is a boat length limit of 8’ 6” for all boats except the “long boat” and OC1 classes. To save you the trouble of measuring your boat I have compiled a list of all “legal” boats in production since 2001 by manufacturer here: boat list
Also for those who are not familiar with boatercross here is a link to some information from the series website: ascikingoftheriver.com
Registration is onsite at the Adventuresports Center International, as this is a club sponsored event and not an ASCI run event we can only take cash and checks to pay for registration.
Cost: $10 per person, $8 for ASCI season pass holders, $5 for Yough Paddling Club Members, and $50 for the remaining 6 events.
Thanks again to the sponsors who make this possible: Wavesport, Stonyboater.com and Stonyboater Paddle wax, Immersion Research, Riversport School of Paddling, and Starkkmoon Kayaks.
If you are interested in joining the Yough Paddling Club we will have membership forms available on Friday, cost is $10 for individual, $15 for families, as well as the expectation that you will volunteer at least 5 times to help with YPC events, trips, activities, or club functions.
The Friday Night Fun Series take a week off next week but returns on July 20th with Giant Slalom a unique take on traditional slolam racing with a shorter, but more open course than found at a slolam race. Plus if we can figure out how to hang a fair course we will set it up in a head to head duel format which will pit racers 1-on-1 on the course at the same time. Should be exciting.
