RESI River Race 2012 - Brisbane Outrigger Canoe Club
26 May 2012
Brisbane's Bridge to Bridge: The Brisbane Outrigger Canoe Club (BOCC) will play host to the Resi River Race for the twelfth year in a row. The 20km event will be held on Sunday 26th of May with crews launching from the banks of Hamilton's newest development, Northshore Riverside Park. It is expected to attract over 200 paddlers from as far as Tasmania and New Zealand to compete.
For those not familiar with the sport, outrigger canoe paddling is typically an ocean-bound sport. The river location adds another dimension, giving competitors challenging and unfamiliar conditions to battle on as well as the greater Brisbane community the opportunity to preview a sport they would otherwise not be exposed to.
The race debuted back in 2001 as a part of the Brisbane Riverfestival. It was one of the first mixed crew (i.e. 3 men and 3 women) competitions held in Australia and since then the sport, race and the race category have grown from strength to strength.
2012 marks the introduction of outrigger canoe paddling in one-man rudderless canoes at the London Paralympics. More closer to home, outrigger canoe will also debut at this year's Pan Pacific Masters Games, which will be held on the Gold Coast in November.
