Interesting insight to our regular SUP members on their Sunday Sofa to 5k below, courtesy of David Partridge one of the clubs regular paddlers-

“Another good morning for Sofa 2 SUP, despite the grey sky and wind we all found perfect conditions “out back” to get some distance in. Colin Todd was in machine mode eating up the Kms. Clare Todd on an ISUP also blasted her way round the course, she is preparing for Race to the Castle.
Other regulars Richard Fry and Judith Booker have increased their paddles week by week and are now doing 7 or 8 km every week.
Maria Roche has gravitated to a hardboard. Nikki Downing sadly had to miss out this week nursing a back twinge.
Every Sunday rain or shine we gather at 09.30 and paddle at our own pace for exercise, company and to enjoy the wildlife and peace that Chelmarsh Sailing Club always brings. Thanks as ever to Nikki who posts each week drumming up support, sign in and come!
It is interesting to compare our little local club paddles with people from all over the world on SUP my Race a great site where people can post their paddles and record distances and results for time trials etc. I’ve added a few posts from today on the site.”

A windy forecast did not stop our Paddle boarders and Sailors from getting out on the water over the weekend. Every Sunday our SUP members are out at 9.30 paddling their Couch to 5k and our Sailors compete against each other in our friendly monthly race series.
This weekend is our Supernova Open event (4/5 April) training on Saturday, 4 races on Sunday and is open to Supernova sailors from around the country.
Fancy learning to sail and join in the fun? We have Learn to Sail courses coming up, see posts below for details.

Updates have been bit quiet over last month or so due to too windy, not enough wind, snow, ice etc etc !! February is here and the good news is that this weekend we have Open Water swimmers early Saturday am. Sunday has the SUPers back on the water from 9.30 and 4 planned pursuit races for the sailor’s from 11.15.
Weather doesn’t look too bad currently.

Last Sunday saw our regular SUP Couch to 5k event from 9.30 with members enjoying flat water at the club. Club sail racing commenced at 11.15 with 8 Lasers , 5 Supernova’s and a GP14 out on the water enjoying 4 races in light to moderate Northerly winds. Close pursuit racing in every race ended with the top Laser, Supernova and GP14 finish within yards of each other … handicaps working!! Winter sail memberships are available as we sail and race all year round. Message us for more info.

🎃 HALLOWEEN PADDLE 🎃

*** POSTPONED ***

Due to safety issues that the Halloween paddle will have to be postponed.

Wind forecast for Friday is gusting up to 40mph so therefore not safe to head out in the dark.

Maybe we could look at a daytime paddle on a weekend rather than a night time paddle, re name the event as " end of season paddle" for some that don't paddle all year round this could be an end of season social paddle before winter.
