The Starboard Demo Day and Second Race of the Starboard Inland Race Series was a great success.
New comers had a an opportunity to try Stand Up Paddling and try the Starboard Range of Boards and the more competive paddlers came to improve their times at the second race of the Starboard Inland Race Series.  

One Round of Racing was held, with the Race being 3 laps (3.15 Km). The race got off to a fierce start with competitors only managing to find their rythm after the first lap.
The race circuit made up of 3 buoys, benefit those paddlers with a combination of paddling power and turning skill. By the 3rd lap, paddlers are starting to tire and the fitter paddlers are able to prove themselves.
In the end, all competitors set some great times and most managed to improve their times from the first race. Anton Nel managed to take the win from Gunter Berger by 24 seconds on handicap time. Well done to all participants.

Next race is: Saturday, 3rd March 2012
