Original Post May 1, 2014

Noosa Outriggers once again brought great results in the South Queensland race series, competing in the fifth race of the series, hosted by Pananuma Outrigger Canoe Club – the 20km long course race was from Mooloolaba to Moffats Beach.

In the long course event the Golden Master Men were first, while the Master Men’s team achieved second, and the Senior Master Men’s teams third and sixth in their respective categories. The master women took out fourth place in a very competitive field and the Senior Master Women fifth.

The Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club is now preparing to host the final race in the current series, being held in Noosa on Saturday, May 10. There will be both a 22km long course and a 13km short course. You can watch the action at Main Beach or from the Noosa National Park ocean walk track, as the long course goes from Main Beach to Sunshine Beach return.
