So we’ve started a fun time trial course on the river at Iford to give us all some motivation & goals to develop our paddling.
Course runs from Iford bridge (right where you put the board in) stopping at the bridge at Tuckton. It’s exactly 1.5 miles.
Simply add a comment below with your best time stating:
- Board (type & length i.e. Race board 12’6)
- Tide (state & flow, in or out etc)
- Winds (rough description & direction)
