Congratulations to all the paddlers who took part in Race 4 of the NSW Surf Ski Championship series. The new and exciting series is designed by paddlers for paddlers. The Championship series is a platform where paddlers of all genders, ages, and abilities come together to compete in the sport we all dearly love. The platform provides manufactures and brands and equal opportunity to showcase their products to the paddling community. No matter where you paddle, what you paddle or how long you have paddle for, the Championship series is a place were we all come together to build our amazing community.

The Palm Beach Playoffs attracted 120 surf ski paddlers for the 13km or 20km courses. Sydney turned on the heat in September with a beautiful 30 degree day with the ocean looking very flat and calm. As the siren sounded the paddlers paddled around Barenjoey headland to be greeted by a Nor'Easter that came through right on 2:05pm and provided a downwind for all to Long Reef.
