East Coast

The 2005 Dunedin Cup will be held in Dunedin Florida on Ocotber 15. This event is a fundraiser for the community of Dunedin and is being held in conjunction with many other boating events. The event is mainly structured towards public viewing and also to get the sport of paddling known throughout the community. Some of the paddling classes will be, OC-1, Surfski, paddleboards, sit on top kayaks, and sea kayaks. If all goes well, there will be a couple of OC-6's available for the public to jump onto and go for a ride. This is going to be a fun and exciting event for the whole family.

This is your last chance to take advantage of paddling in the final race of the Hobie Treasure Island Series. This event is the biggest paddling event right now in the state of Florida. There is is no entry fee and all classes are invited.

Hello everybody, I am trying to start a college paddling team here at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. We are currently looking to begin in the Fall of '05, but we are in desperate need of an OC-6 to practice/race on. If anybody knows of an OC-6 for sale in the Bay Area of California (I will be there before the Fall, and I will be able to haul it back to VA) or anywhere along the East Coast, please contact me. Thanks!

Hi! I'm looking to purchase a used OC-1. I'm still not sure which one is best for me and I'm open to all suggestions. I'm 5'2", have paddled 6 and 4 man canoes for many years but am trying to get better at OC-1.
