π¦πΊ THAT'S A WRAP ON THE 2026 IVF VA'A WORLD SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIPS!
A massive congratulations to every single team and individual who paddled for Australia in Singapore. What an incredible two weeks of racing on the world stage. You did your clubs, your families and your country proud. π
To our Area Coordinators, CC and Scotty, thank you! Your tireless work kept every Australian crew informed, organised and looked after across the whole championship. Without you, our team would have been a whole lot less organised and we're so grateful for your generous support throughout. π
A big thank you as well to Paddle Life TV for coming along and capturing all the action.
