It might have been a nightmare build-up, but Macca is living every surfski paddler's dream this week... at the 2025 Gorge Downwind Championships!

The festival of paddling has once again pulled in downwind-lovers from all corners of the globe, yet somehow we've dragged Mac away from the craft beer tent and in front of the microphone for an overdue catch-up.

The boys preview the great race, bow down to two surfski icons and put the call out to the world... is this the biggest wave ever caught?
