What an awesome weekend!!!!!

Our first Diamond DASH on Saturday followed by straight racing on Sunday

The Tin Can Bay weather certainly made it challenging on both days but that added to the fun!

Congratulations to the other clubs in attendance, there were some EPIC costumes on Sunday.

Our paddlers were strong and committed placing 6th and 9th in the Diamond Dash and achieving 2nd place overall in 2nd Division 200m.

We are grateful to our friends from Maroochy Sea Serpents who jumped on board to fill some spots in our boat.

Overall an incredible weekend which we will return to next year. Thank you Cooloola for a great weekend

Huge congratulations to our incredible team who paddled 37kms in the Enduro Quest 2026 from Bribie Island to Golden Beach!💙🐲

What an unforgettable experience — from working together through every kilometre to making the most of those well-earned 15-minute rest stops!

Your determination, teamwork and grit from start to finish were nothing short of amazing. So proud of every single one of you for showing up, digging deep and crossing that finish line together.

What a team. What an effort. What an achievement!🔥☀️

A huge shoutout to Claire and Mikkie who paddled for Manly and in the Invictus team, and to Heather who represented the Para Dragons. We’re so proud to see our paddlers competing across multiple teams and divisions.

We’d love to share some photos from the event — if you have any, please send them through!

Congratulations to all athletes, coaches and supporters on an amazing Nationals campaign! 💪🔥

20km in the boat and WOW 😮‍💨🔥

That paddle? STRONG. 💪🚣‍♀️

There’s something about digging deep when you’re 15km in, everything hurting, and your crew still finds another gear. That’s race grit. That’s boat power. That’s team spirit.

Every stroke today is building toward the upcoming endro quest going from Bribie island to Caloundra, We’re not just paddling kilometers — we’re building endurance, resilience, and trust in the boat.

If 20km hurts now, good. It means we’re getting stronger.
Bring on race day. We’ll be ready. 🐉🔥
