Day 2 of our regatta was all about learning, sharing experiences and hearing from some of our paddlers. 🌊

Blair, Lee, Sam, Steph, Adrian, Buck, Matt and Scotty shared their knowledge with group with demonstrations on the beach linked in with in and outs on the water.

Special shout out to Lee who drove up the morning of just to help at the training camp.

Kathy and Emma spoke about their time in Singapore and shared what the experience was like competing over there.

Buck, Kathy and Matt also spoke about Molokai, everything it took to get there, their preparation, and what the race itself was really like.

It was such a good opportunity for everyone to listen, ask questions and learn from paddlers who have competed at such a high level.

A massive thank you everyone who turned up Sunday and taking the time to share their experiences with everyone!

We are so lucky to have so many good people in our zone, was a great way to wrap up the weekend.

A massive thank you to our incredible support boat crew — Ben, Dean, Zack, Bapo and Luke!

You guys braved some pretty tough conditions all day and stayed out there for as long as you could, even while feeling sick, just to make sure everyone on the water was supported and looked after.

It definitely wasn’t an easy day, and we really appreciate you pushing through and giving up your time to help everyone out.

Days like this wouldn’t be possible without people working hard behind the scenes, so a huge thank you from everyone at Coconuts !
