Feeling really privileged to have competed at this years world surfski champs. I’m proud of my 5th place in u23 in the biggest field the sport has ever seen, in one of the coolest places I’ve ever been.

It takes a lot of time and sacrifice to do the things we do and it wouldn’t be possible without my friends and family, so to everyone who has helped me to get here, I am truly grateful.

And lastly a massive thank you to my sponsors who are always in my corner making things possible:

🔥OCEAN RACING WORLD CHAMPS🔥

What an incredible weekend of racing for the ORKA athletes and squad at the ICF Ocean Racing World Champs. We could not be prouder of the results and multiple podium places achieved by this talented bunch of paddlers on the world stage. The hard work in the training, races and preparation all culminated here, and the future looks incredibly bright!

It doesn’t stop here, we now look forward to World Canoe Marathon Champs in Argentina, The Pete Marlin Surf Ski Race in East London, South Africa, World Surf Lifesaving Champs in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and the season closer, the Cape Point Challenge at home in Cape Town. We’re not done yet!
