In closing i would like to say a great time was had by the kayakers, the Eastern States guys had a ball and it was mentioned they would like to have rounds in Mandurah and the Swan.

It was great to put some names to faces ,hope we do it all again some time and well done to Ben Hough (dahousta)he beat the number 4 & 5 ranked in Australia on a leaking quest paddle craft, a remarkable effort against the big guns ,,, he is our W.A rep in the Grand Final where everything will be laid on for him in Sydney in May including a fully set up Pro Angler with live well,,good luck.
