Connor Kelly, 5, decides to try paddleboarding while sitting Saturday during a free paddleboard demonstration at the Clark’s Bridge Olympic venue. The Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club teamed up with Team Radosta Fitness of Hoschton, GUSU Paddle Sports of Destin, Fla., and The Outside World in Dawsonville as hosts of the free, stand-up paddle demo.
It was off to the races Saturday for those involved with the Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club and the Baron and Brothers International Junior Olympic Program. The 2012 Baron and Brothers International Championship Race was held at the Lake Lanier Olympic venue and included races for both youth and adults. The kids raced in a variety of boats, including dragon boats, sprint kayaks, single- and two-person kayaks and canoes.
