Karl Marsters, Organizer Blue Rocks Skip, rock skipping competition
South Shore residents are preparing to Rock, Skip, Jump this weekend in Blue Rocks.
The second annual Blue Rocks Skip Nova Scotia Rock skipping competition is being organized by Pleasant Paddling’s Karl Marsters.
He has put together three events including a traditional rock skip, a big rock skip, and a diving skip called the “Rock, Skip Jump”.
Marsters says all money raised goes to a good cause.
“We’ve aligned ourselves with Pro-Kids because they have similar values, they’re focused on recreation and getting people to do things in the outdoors. That’s what we do as a business.”
Marsters says everyone has a lot of fun but the event does have a competitive side.
“We’re touting it as the provincial championship and we’re looking into whether it’s the national championship. I mean, why go little when we can go big?”
Registration begins Sunday at 11:30am and competition gets underway at noon at Pleasant Paddling in Blue Rocks.
Entry costs between ten dollars per event or competitors can enter all three for twenty dollars, and kids are free.
