TEAM BOATS (K2, SS2, OC2-6)
When completing your entry, please remember the deal, EVERY paddler MUST complete the event registration process.
That means all paddlers in a crew (K2, SS2 or OC2/3/6) must complete an entry.
If you are paddling in a team boat, you must also provide your crew members names. If you are paddling in an OC3-6 your steerer must email your team crew names to gcpaddlesports@gmail.com at the time of entry.
Why?
So that we can match up the entries and combine them into one boat.
So that all entrants complete the Waiver acknowledgment.
So that we have Emergency Contact and other important information for EVERY paddler.
....and most importantly so that we can continue to bring you the opportunity to paddle in this great event in the future.
