A word from Brian
It's definitely the weather to enjoy ourselves
and get out there.
The ORS guides and instructors have been
tuning their skills and are ready for the busy season, already upon us. We have a growing amount of instructors coming into ORS to
respond to the demand, so if you have any
needs such as custom coaching or a special
guided tour, please inquire with Natasha at
our Adventure Centre.
We always have great deals on boats such
as our Solstice Kayak Sale on this month.
We also have clearance boats and used boats available at great deals. Whatever you are
after, I think we will have something that
fills your needs- check them out.
Don't forget to come down to the big MEC
Paddlfest at Caboro Bay on June 27th - Ocean
River is proud to display, demo and support.
We will be there in force to show off why
ORS is Victoria's original and best paddlesports centre.
Proud to be local,
Brian
