Port Hacking Outriggers Club

28/05/2026

We’re incredibly proud to share that we finished 9th at Nationals - placing us in the top 10 clubs in the country!!

This result represents so much more than the crews who competed. This result reflects every single member of our club - every paddler, every volunteer, every coach, every committee member, every training session, every early morning and late night, every sponsor and the culture we build together.

So proud! 💛💚💛💚💛💚

Finally, the National Marathon 2026 Club Points ..
42 clubs showed up to participate and compete at Coffs Harbour - great job paddling community!

Following a quadruple check of these points, the 2 top runners are separated by a mere 9 points, with 3rd and 4th a 7-point difference.

CONGRADULATIONS TO: 1st Mooloolaba Outrigger Canoe Club, 2nd place Gold Coast Outrigger Canoe Club and "the little club that could" in 3rd place - Coffs Coast Outrigger Canoe Club . We'll be in touch shortly to get those trophies to each of those clubs.

We hope that everyone has been able to relive all the on and off water action and vibe captured by Kai, Mel and Joe of Paddle Life TV. Check out their Youtube channel .. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRf-838g0M1-zyQln_vtEPw

From all of us on the board, we wish you all safe adventures, happy paddling and see you in 3 weeks at Hamilton Island Cup.
