Preparations under way at Norfolk Island. Race day tomorrow and the weather is looking perfect.

Next up — one of the most iconic races on the Australian paddling calendar, the Suzuki Whale Run on the Sunshine Coast.

This epic event challenges paddlers with a 49km downwind run from Bribie Island to Mooloolaba, testing endurance, teamwork, and ocean skill along Queensland’s stunning coastline. Long kilometres, changing conditions, and open-water energy make this race a true rite of passage for many crews.

The action doesn’t stop at the finish line. The day also features fast-paced short-course beach changeover races right in Mooloolaba Bay, bringing the community together and showcasing the heart of the sport.

Capturing the Whale Run is always special — big ocean, big effort, and an unreal atmosphere from start to finish. Thank you Mooloolaba OCC for having us at this years event!

Day 3

🏝️ Mooloolaba Outriggers at CapRoc 2025

What a weekend up at Emu Park for the CapRoc Race!
We took on the 12km short course on Saturday and the 40km long course on Sunday — and what a weekend of racing it was!

🔥 Results:
🥇 Ladies Open – Gold
🥈 Men’s Masters – Silver
🥇 Mixed Open (40km Long Course) – Gold

The long course was a true test — challenging conditions, strong competition, and plenty of grit. After sitting behind on the first lap, we dug deep to regain the lead just before the downwind leg and held it through to the finish.

Massive shoutout to Cathy and the CapRoc team for putting on such an incredible event, and to all the paddlers and supporters who made the trip north. Great racing, great teamwork, and awesome vibes all around! 💪🌊
