10 years ago, Gordan Harbrecht had never sat in a surfski. Now, he’s one of the world’s best paddlers… and a guest on The Paddler’s Pod!

Ana Swetish and Uli Hart are both Under 23 athletes who produced breakout performances, only to walk away with very different titles.

He’s picked up several podium finishes over his racing career, but Nick Notten hopes this proves to be the breakthrough result he’s been aiming for.

The South African finally became a World Champion with her commanding victory at the 2021 event in Lanzarote.

South Africa was unable to field a full team due to travel restrictions, but they have again dominated the podium.

She’s spent decades conquering her challenges in the ocean, but Bonnie Hancock’s next adventure defies all belief.

In the midst of Australia’s latest COVID outbreaks and state lockdowns, organisers were faced with no other choice.

The decision doesn’t come as a surprise, but it does come with plenty of disappointment for the nation’s selected athletes.

The event will still offer all of its prize money pool along with its Australian Ocean Racing Series points.
