Hello Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that with the support of Starboard and WAKSA I will be stand up paddling over 70 kilometers solo to raise funds and awareness for the Royal Flying Doctor.

The paddle will be taking place in late September from Yardie Creek to the Mildura Wreck in Exmouth and I am hoping to raise funds through sponsorship from family, friends, fellow suppers, businesses and the broader community.

I am currently in the process of finalising my planning and will provide a detailed update on the paddle itself and how people can donate to this very worthy not for profit charity shortly.

Your support will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kind Regards,

Theresa McKirdy

Great.. Do you plan to do it in one day?.. and what board will you paddle?

Hi Akhawk,

I am based in Perth.

I am hoping to get as much paddle time on the water over the next 8 weeks to train for the paddle. Hopefully there are some breaks in this rain!

Off the water I am also working on my fitness with a personal trainer. She is helping me to strengthen specific muscles, improve my endurance and cardio-vascular fitness.

I have some hard work ahead! Thats for sure.

Theresa

Well done Rez. You will smash it in.
It took you 3.5hrs to paddle 20kms from Rotto to Scarbs.
So you should be able to do Yards to Exmouth in 12hrs
Good luck and keep us all updated

If you are after some moral support and company on your training paddles let us all know. I would be keen and I'm sure others would also be keen to join in for a distance paddle somewhere and sometime.

Ive done Trigg to Hillarys a few times and is a good paddle with a few wave spots to stop in on the way.
Count me in if anyone is keen.
Maybe Rez, Hilly, Hawkie, Reflex and anyone else who is keen we could organise a few small paddles to start with and then do some Scarbs to Mullaz?
When you know your going Rez post it up and Im sure you will get a few crew out there with you.
Give me a few days notice

Holy crap Rezi! Good on you. Wish i was over there to do it with you.

When you coming to visit missy?

If anyone knows that WA coast, it's you.

Miss ya and catch up with you again soon. Good luck too
