Algonquin Outfitters Big East River X
Held over the May 26th weekend, the season opener for the Ontario Ultra Paddling Point Series brought over 80 paddlers to the waters of Lake Vernon, Big East River, and Muskoka River. After a few concerns that Mother Nature was going to spoil the show the clouds broke and we all enjoyed the warmth of sunny weather and calm waters. Vadim Lawrence crushed the course paddling his Epic V10 in a time of 3:28:3, beating Brian Heath's 2017 record time of 3:35:59. The rest of the results are here . Photos of the day taken by River X and Limelight Video Algonquin Outfitters are available, so check out all the action.

Don't forget to sign up for our flag-ship event; the Algonquin Outfitters Muskoka River X . The last race of the Ontario Ultra Paddling Point Series brings new challenges with a reversed course and an option to paddle like a Voyageur. The MRX promises to finish off your 2018 paddling season with the ultimate paddling experience.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you on the water.

Rob and Mike.
