WELCOME TO THE PACIFIC COAST VIRTUAL SERIES
The Series was developed to support our Paddle Clubs, their members and the wider paddle sports community through the challenging times of COVID-19. This program was a great success and by popular demand, is back for 2021 and will continue in future years.
The Pacific Coast Virtual Series provides Paddle Clubs with a product to help engage current members, re-connect with past members, provide local communities with an exercise activity that can safely operate within the Governments social distancing measures, while helping Queenslanders to keep functioning.
