The Hansa Pilsener girls were supporting the paddlers by cheering them on and letting them know that an ice cold Hansa Pilsener was waiting for them just a few km's away with the special ingredient.
Five lucky paddlers won the opportunity of a lifetime to have their own 'Hansa Pilsener Seconding crew' which comprised of a masseur, cheerleader and crew leader. The Seconding crews followed their paddlers in 4x4 vehicles sponsored by CMH Toyota, supplying them with food, drinks, massages, and the 'special ingredient', ice cold Hansa Pilsener.
