Watertrek is very happy to join the event organized by Le Grand 8 SUP club in Joinville on the 13th and 14th. May 2017: the race and event of the Eau Vive. Various coordinators of the association from different countries – France, England, Belgium – will participate in the races offered during the weekend, and will take care of a stand aiming to raise awareness on the problem of waste in rivers through several games. Marwan will join and tell stories about water to kids.

The adventurers Carolyn & Carlos – volunteers at Watertrek in London – will join the event from Brazil to make a paddleboard in plastic bottles, a way for them to raise awareness but also to announce their expedition project, These will launch during Ocean International Day on June 8th and will lead them to perform 12 marathons in recycled SUP across Europe. Join us as we will be building the board and bring some 2-litre plastic bottles!

Watertrek is particularly happy to participate in this event, as Joinville hosted its very first foreshore clean-up 4 years ago, a trip back to where it all started and for sure a great reason to celebrate and enjoy local white wine.

A huge thank to Gilles de Joinville for welcoming us.
