This year is the 10th anniversary of the Deep Cove Tuesday Night races. Every Tuesday night from April to September, competitive and non-competitive paddlers from all over the northwest come to race. The race is open to basically any human powered craft. Everything from row boats, kayaks, dugouts, surf skis, canoes, outriggers, ICF boats, draagon boats, and more.
The cost of the race is only $3.00. If you need a boat to use Deep Cove Kayaks rents them right at the beach. A single goes for $15, and a double is $20. This includes the surf skis they rent as well. there are Think, Epic, and Fenn skis to rent.
At the beginning of the season the races are about 30 minutes long, and increase as the season continues. There is also a short course as well. Just to spice things up a bit, they sometimes throw in a run, and or a swim into the mix.
These races are very popular with paddlers,as the numbers of racers is between 50 to 80, with a record high of over 100 paddlers.
So if you are in the area and looking for some races, or if you jsut want to try out kayaking give Deep Cove Kayaks a call at 604-929-2268.
