VICTORIA, BC, August 24, 2009…On August 26, 2009, the second race of the Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) Wave Grabber Race Series will take place at the Gorge Rowing and Paddling Centre (GRPC). The first race (August 12), attracted paddlers of all types in single and double ocean kayaks, surf-skis, K1 (Flatwater Kayak) and more.  

The Wave Grabber races can be done in a kayak, surf-ski, canoe, outrigger and paddle board, and is as casual or competitive as you want to be. For the 1st race, paddlers had the option of a 2km course or a 4km course on the Gorge Waterway. After racing, participants celebrated and socialized on the docks of GRPC and enjoyed a BBQ and prizes.

MEC & GRPC have started the MEC Wave Grabber Race Series, a five race series, to promote recreational paddling in the community, and invite any and all types of paddlers to attend.
