Do you like to go out to the water? Would you like to also do some good along the way?
PAssion Wave is once again renting out kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for a challenge where NTUC cash vouchers worth up to S$100 can be won as the annual PAddle 'N' Klean challenge is back.
PAddle 'N' Klean challenge
Participants have to register their groups in teams of up to five people.
They can do so here https://go.gov.sg/pnk2021, and download the GreenDay app on their mobile devices.
Using this app, participants can also claim their points and track their own as well as their competitors' progress.
Teams can earn and accumulate points when they engage in two tasks: Collect rubbish found in Singapore's waters and/ or track their distance kayaked or paddled.
Staff members will then weigh and verify the weight of marine litter collected to dole out the appropriate number of points.
Those participating will have to bring their own tracking devices/ apps to record their paddling distance, which will also be verified by staff members for points.
Points can be accumulated over multiple visits during rental operating hours within the challenge period, which runs from Dec. 1 to 31, 2021.
The top 10 teams with the highest points stand to walk away with NTUC cash vouchers.
Needless to say, prevailing vaccination-differentiated safe management measures and safe distancing measures apply.

Excluding public holidays, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards can be rented for the challenge from Wednesday to Sunday throughout the month of December 2021.
