Thanks Cait, Kerry and to all who put this festival together.  It was such a great venue.  Great volunteers, music, food, and most of all good competitive db and outrigger races.
Never heard one complaint just saw many happy paddlers enjoying this festival.
Kerry - your comments had many laughing! (I heard a lot at my expense!!)
Sudden Impact Paddling Club had a blast at this festival and will be back next year for sure.  Thanks so so much for all the hard work.

Honeydew you had me laughing too. It was great watching you on your birthday going sideways. I know it can be a challenge just steering but in a dba race course is much harder than you can imagine.   Happy belated birthday.  See you all next year.

Some big rollers to race in  :shock: ...but they helped make the whole thing pretty fun. Who knew a D2 could porpoise like that?

It was a great festival and it was a great way to end the season with a fun filling festival.  I hope that this festival will be back for 2013 and that I will race this festival with my own team!!

And yes, Kerry's commentary was   VERY ENTERTAINING!

Just an FYI
next year it will be the same format, same weekend in September but SaveOn Foods will precede the "Paddle the Northshore" name
so it will be "SOF Paddle the Northshore"

Glad you had a great time.

Great to see this event is being planned for 2013.Will be back.
Great location and facilities - easy to unload and park.
Could watch everything that was going on without moving.
Enjoyed the mix of OC's and dragon boats.
The ongoing commentary from Kerry was hilarious - enjoyed the band also
Congratulations Cait and your crew of volunteers
