The PNSW Sprint Series ~~operates on a Divisional system in much the same way as the well known Marathon 9 Series. Essentially you don't have~~ to ~~paddle a tippy K1/K2 sprint boat to be able~~ to ~~compete. All you need to do is have a reasonable idea of~~ your ~~time to paddle 1000m and nominate this on your entry. If you know your~~ times ~~over shorter distances~~, all the better, but it is not crucial.

Based on the times provided, all competitors are placed into similarly timed heats, so you will be racing people of your own speed and ability, no matter what boat you paddle. K1s, ocean skis, racing sea kayaks like the Sonic or Flash are all perfectly acceptable even a K4. The point here is it gives you a chance to race your current boat over an Olympic course and develop all the skills sprinting entails.

Previously called Flatwater, Canoe Sprint has been a competition sport in the Summer Olympic Games since the 1936 Games in Berlin. Australian sprint paddlers have won 18 Olympic medals. Some might say sprint is the purest form of paddling. Tippy, lightweight boats designed with little consideration for anything but straight line speed. Races are on a straight course, in lanes and usually over 200m, 500m and 1000m. Top paddlers hit speeds over 20km/h.

The ICF sets several criteria for "K" boats but length and weight are the key ones. In 2000, after the Olympic Games in Sydney, the ICF withdrew width restrictions on all boats, spurring a flurry of innovations in boat designs. Narrow and wide boats can qualify.

First thing to do is come and watch or volunteer at an event such as the PaddleNSW Sprint Series. It's also important to have a go in a K1. Stability will be an issue for some and it may take some time to feel comfortable in a full blown ICF racing boat. Some say it takes 1/10th of your age to get it! Fortuantely more stable beginner and intermediate boats are available.

!!! How does the PaddleNSW Sprint Series differ from other National and International Sprint Regattas?

The PNSW Sprint Series operates on a Divisional system in much the same way as the well known Marathon 9 Series. Essentially you don't have to paddle a tippy K1/K2 sprint boat to be able to compete. All you need to do is have a reasonable idea of your time to paddle 1000m and nominate this on your entry. If you know your times over shorter distances, all the better, but it is not crucial.

Based on the times provided, all competitors are placed into similarly timed heats, so you will be racing people of your own speed and ability, no matter what boat you paddle. K1s, ocean skis, racing sea kayaks like the Sonic or Flash are all perfectly acceptable. The point here is it gives you a go to race your current boat over an Olympic course and develop all the skills sprinting entails.

Previously called Flatwater, Canoe Sprint is an Olympic sport and some might say the purest form of paddling. Tippy, lightweight boats designed with little consideration for anything but straight line speed. Top paddlers hit speeds over 20km/h. The HCC is indeed challenging but no paddler is complete until they have enjoyed the pain of the 1000m sprint!

Previously called Flatwater, Canoe Sprint is an Olympic sport and some might say the purest form of paddling. Tippy, lightweight boats designed with little consideration for anything but straight line speed. Races are on a straight course, in lanes and usually over 200m, 500m and 1000m. Top paddlers hit speeds over 20km/h. The HCC is indeed challenging but no paddler is complete until they have enjoyed the pain of the 1000m sprint!
