2021 ICF Ocean Racing World Championships

DEFENDING CHAMPION SMITH TO MISS ICF WORLD TITLES

The Australian’s absence is another blow to the star-power of the women’s field.

The Australian has become the first woman in the history of the ICF Ocean Racing World Championships to claim a second crown.

The Australian cements his stake as one of the greatest surfski paddlers of all time with his third ICF Ocean Racing World Championship.

A resolution has been reached after months of discussions between Paddle Australia and organisers of the Shaw and Partners WA Race Week.

Jemma Smith hadn’t raced in her surfski for months before the World Championships, but that didn’t slow her charge toward the title.

The prodigy of paddling has fulfilled his potential by producing the best performance of his career on the sport’s biggest stage.
