Who’s up for a sleep in? 😴 …Not this crew! 😂

While most people were still tucked up in bed, our legends were out tackling an 8km session before the sun was even up. 🌅

Single-digit temps? ✅
Biting westerly? ✅
Questioning life choices on the beach? Maybe… 😂

But somehow, every paddle stroke, every laugh and that incredible sunrise made it all worth it. That’s what our club is all about—showing up for each other, embracing the challenge and having a few laughs along the way. 💪

If you’d like to help get these dedicated crews to the start line this competition season, come and say hello at our Caringbah BBQ on Sunday 2 August, 9am–4pm (or until sold out).

Grab a sausage sizzle 🌭, pick up some cupcakes, slices or other baked treats 🧁, or simply make a donation. Every dollar helps us raise funds for a much-needed trailer to get our crews on the road and representing Kurnell.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support our club—we couldn’t do it without you! ❤️

Nationals weekend in Coffs Harbour 🌊

Big effort from our Senior Master Mixed crew, finishing 4th in our division in a huge field of 44 canoes on the start line 👏

Tricky conditions out on the water made for a tough race, but the crew dug deep and showed plenty of grit and teamwork to power through 💪

Special shoutout to our newbies .janene and Jess Fox competing in only their second races — absolute legends! 🙌

Awesome paddling also from , , and Steve Cash. Proud of this crew and the way everyone showed up for each other. Thankyou for our sponsors 💙🤍🖤🤙

What a day at Port Hacking Regatta ☀️

10km short course done and what a race… wild start, neck-and-neck with Bondi Outrigger Canoe Club pretty much the whole way, and we crossed 2nd over the line out of 20 canoes in 52:31 🙌

Super stoked to take 1st in Master Mixed, and only miss line honours by a few seconds to Bondi’s Open crew… so close! Silver day for us overall 🥈

Extra special day with two novices in our crew — Shay Smith in her very first race and Nathan Vella in only his second. You both were awesome and we are so proud of you 👏

These are the days we love… tough racing, great people, and that feeling of pushing hard together on the water. 💪

Huge thanks to Port Hacking Outriggers Club for a great regatta, and to this epic crew — Rachael Cash Nikki Gidney Nathan Vella Shay Smith, James JJ Falé and Steve Cash 💙
