Wherever we go, we bring a love of competition and a great enjoyment of meeting fellow paddlers in a community environment. As a competitive recreational mixed team with 50 members and two crews, we go to six festivals every season, and are always on the lookout for new venues. This will be our first trip to Ithaca and we are really looking forward to it.
