Day Two Nationals: The day was short but the moments were 👌Our 2026 Nationals regatta has come to a close and it was extra special to have our founding coach Brian in the tent with us all weekend.

Our chocolate fish ceremony was an emotional one as we thanked our amazing coaches Mark and Greg and Kurtis passed on one of his medals to Brian.

To our coaches, our manager Lindi, parents, supporters and paddlers - thanks for bringing the Mana spirit on and off the water. We have a pretty special crew who truly showed up at this special place 💛🖤
