The Paddler's Pod

It's not *too* often we stray from the surfski scene, but with racing like this, we had to make an exception.

The World Life Saving Titles, the Canoe Marathon World Championships... AND... our very own Ocean Racing Titles. It's all happening!

And no, we haven't forgotten... Talkback Radio is back, and someone is about to win a Vaikobi Voucher.

There's always something, isn't there?

But one thing we haven't forgotten... all of the latest in the surfski world.

Scintillating split times, race results and big news on the ICF World Championships... plus, a big rant from Sam.

It's all on this latest episode of The Paddler's Pod, this episode powered by Vaikobi!

Tragedy has struck the Australian ocean racing community, so on this episode, Sam & Macca reflect on the passing of Brad Russell and discuss what we could learn from it.

There's also reason to celebrate, with the success of surfski's own at the Olympic Games, along with Macca's promised story and details of your next chance to win a Vaikobi voucher.

It's not often that we cross to the dark side... but when the Olympic Games roll around, why not?

Pardon the late upload, but things have been a little sleepy at The Paddler's Pod.

Thankfully, Sam has stumbled on one of the greatest motivational videos surfski has ever seen to get Macca going.

It's not the only content that's caught the boys' attention, while there's also a breakdown of the recent Gorge Downwind Championships and South African national titles.

Oh, the week that was!

Sam & Macca have caught their breath after an awesome week in Perth, and they're back on the mics to re-live it.

But the paddling hasn't stopped... the 250km(!!!) PE2EL has been run and won in South Africa, while the Cape Point Challenge isn't too far behind.

The live show is back!

Sam & Macca were back on the mics in Perth at the 2023 ICF Ocean Racing World Championships, and we're so grateful for the crowd that turned out!

An all-star cast assembled for the show, with 3-time Olympic Champion-turned-surfski paddler James Tomkins, the inaugural ICF women's World Champion Michelle Eray AND current title holders Jemma Smith & Kenny Rice.

The sound quality isn't perfect, but if you listen in, you'll almost feel like you're there.
