Smashing Results for Far South Coast Paddlers
Our friends at the Eurobodalla Outrigger Club hosted their first Regatta at Corrigans Beach on Saturday 1st November 2025. This inaugural event on the water at Batemans Bay brought paddlers from across the State with Canberra and South Coast clubs from Wollongong to Bega well represented for a brilliant day of racing, teamwork, and community connection.
Our own Far South Coast Paddlers were proudly represented both on and off the water. Bob Turner lead the important role of timekeeper. His precision stopwatch work and webscorer wrangling helped keep the event running smoothly and on schedule.
Early starters Lydia and Kylie raced the 8km single outrigger race with outstanding results placing 1st and 3rd in their category. They then backed it up to join local clubs later in the day for the six man outrigger canoe races. Lydia joined Conjola Stingrays Outrigger Canoe Club in the 15km long course and Kylie paddled for Mollymook Outrigger Canoe Club in the 8km short course.
It was wonderful to see the camaraderie among clubs and the shared passion for paddling that makes these events so special. The Eurobodalla club delivered a well-run, welcoming regatta that celebrated the best of what the Far South Coast has to offer right down to a massive seafood platter prize donated by Innes Boat Shed.
Congratulations to all paddlers, volunteers, and organisers on a great day – and special cheers to Bob, Lydia, and Kylie for sharing the love and flying the FSC Paddlers flag so proudly! 🌊🏆
