Racing is a really fun way to stay fit, develop your technique and have fun with other paddlers.
We are very excited to be supporting the Jericho Wavechaser Series.
Waverchaser is a paddling race series running every second Thursday off the beaches at the Jericho Sailing Centre. The races are open to all level of paddlers in kayak, surfski, outrigger, SUP and prone.
Courses vary depending on conditions, each race night has a short and a long course. Race entry is $10, and for Jericho Sailing Centre members it’s $5! Post race awards and draw prizes follow after the last paddler is in.
For more information please visit: http://wavechaser.jsca.bc.ca/
We’re supporting paddlers who want to join the race by offering significantly discounted kayak and surfski rentals.
Learn to Race
You would like to participate in wavechaser, but aren’t quite sure how it all works?
Join our Learn to Race course! We will meet over two Thursdays and spend the first Thursday seeing how the race logistics work and developing our forward stroke technique, learning about pacing and learning techniques to keep the race fun and rewarding.
On the second Thursday, we will participate in the Wavechaser race together, so we will meet beforehand, get ourselves and our equipment ready, check in together and head to the starting line-up together. After the race, we can debrief and ask any questions, so we feel ready to do this by ourselves again next time.
