In light of the growth of the sport of paddling OC-1 and OC-2, I think it is time for OC-1 and OC-2 Clubs, A place for paddlers that have no desire or time to commit to the OC-6 clubs, A group that they can hang out with and learn from, Shaun Michael is a good example of who these new clubs should be looking for, Brand new to the sport and very eager to learn, Or these new clubs could be an off shoot of the already established OC-6 clubs, A big part of the growth of Triathlon is the "club" aspect. Although Triathlons are an individual sport, Clubs offer them a place to share training, get coached, and find new training partners. I would love to see OC-1 clubs form or at the very least OC-1 divisions within an OC-6 club where there are no expectations for that paddler to be at every practice or race. This is also an opportunity for OC-6 clubs to retain members that are dropping out of the club for OC-1 only paddling.
