Hundreds took advantage of the glorious English Riviera yesterday (Saturday September 2) to take part in the RNLI fund-raising Great Big Paddle Parade.
Besides raising valuable money for the lifeboat, paddlers were out to set a new world record of 1,000 paddlers in the sea at the same time. The last tally was 700 - and still counting.
Whatever the outcombe numbers wise, the sea Parade was a huge success and the English Riviera was the winner as the event put the beautiful Bay firmly on the map
The parade was the brainwave of 'Wesup King' Sean White. He organised a similar, first event last year when more than 540 paddlers took part.
So everything is going in the right direction - on the crest of a wave!
