PCK & Plastex are proud to announce the appointment of Kieren Carson as a Youth Brand Ambassador, joining Sebastian Marczak & Matt Goble as exclusive members of PCK’s Brand Ambassadorship program. Kieren continues to impress after only commencing his paddling career in the last couple of years, his most recent individual achievement winning the U18 K1 200m & 500m at Nationals in Perth. We look forward to supporting Kieren’s paddling career, next stop – U23 World Championships in Canada in August.

The latest range of PLASTEX feature substantial changes in patented hull design to maximise initial acceleration off the line and reduce bow lift. These images of the FIGHTER provide a good example.

Having now paddled the Elio Mazu for 3 months it’s time for a quick review against my other ski, a V10. Elio, much better known for their sprint boats, has made their 1st attempt at an LD ski with the Mazu Pro. The Mazu Pro is 420mm wide, short for an advanced ski at 6.27 meters, I have the sport version which is a 13 kg carbon/ carbon Kevlar sandwich construction and this ski just gets better and better the more you paddle it! As you would expect from a good sprint boat Manufacturer the construction is excellent producing a very stiff ski. The seat in the Mazu Pro is super comfortable and the...

I was able to go for a light paddle and try to do a few short sprints. Saturday - c1 200m heat I placed 5th in a time of...

Poland: September 2011 The exciting thing about travelling to Poland in the Olympic Hopefuls was that it was my first time going overseas to a different country, first time in a National team and also my first time competing internationally. It was a great experience.  Watching other international competitors paddling, experiencing the culture of Poland (especially all the good foods), the crazy driving in narrow European streets and socialising with athletes from other countries was amazing. Being a full time athlete was great- just eating, sleeping and training! A big thank you to PCK and Plastex...
