Florida Lake Canoe Club hosted the Gauteng Canoe Union Mixed Doubles Championships on the Klip River, between Daleside and Meyerton, last Sunday.<\/p>\n
The mixed doubles category (a male\/female combination in a K2 kayak) will be one of the racing categories at the World Marathon Championships set to be held in Pietermaritzburg from September 4 to 10.<\/p>
Canoe Concepts (a supplier of equipment for canoeing\/kayaking based in Albertskroon near Emmarentia Dam) is the annual sponsor of the Mixed Doubles Championships where the top Gauteng mixed doubles partnerships are recognised.<\/p>\n
Ryan and Vasti Booysen from the Germiston Lake-based Victoria Lake Canoe Club (VLC) enjoyed the event immensely finishing the 30km race in a time of two hours and 22 minutes.<\/p>
