2019 Paddle Australia Annual Awards Finalists Announced

2019 Paddle Australia Annual Awards Night Tickets On Sale

Over the past year, Australia’s paddlers have once again made headlines around the country and the world and we have had amazing twelve months across our various paddle disciplines with impressive results at national and international events.

These would have not been possible without the brilliant efforts made by our volunteers, officials, administrators, instructors and coaches and we are very thankful for the support our paddlers, clubs and events receive across the country.

It is time to acknowledge and celebrate all the success and efforts of the last year and after careful consideration the Paddle Australia Honours Committee would like to congratulate all 2019 Paddle Australia Award Finalists on their achievements.

With Danielle Woodward and John Jacoby we will also have two inductees to the Paddle Australia Hall of Fame.

Paddle Australia invites you to come and join us to recognise and celebrate our award finalists and paddle achievements throughout the last year in an exciting evening hosted by Channel 7’s sports presenter and sports journalist Jim Wilson at the Mercure in Sydney on Saturday, 9 November 2019.

We are looking forward to a great evening of celebrations with our paddle community!
