What a week last week was, with one of the biggest events hitting WA shores, the Shaw & Partners Race Week.
Based out of Sorrento SLSC, athletes from around Australia, and the world came to compete in multiple surf ski, and paddle board events over 7 days. In addition to the racing, there was a Nipper Clinic, that bought together young athletes and Professional Ironmen & Ironwomen, An event dinner that bought together competitors and sponsors, and lots of fireworks!

We had many Trigg Island SLSC members take advantage of the opportunity to compete throughout this week, with big performances all round. Milly Kok finished overall 2nd in the Junior Female category, after having standout races, and topping it off with a 2nd place finish in the grueling Rottnest to Sorrento Downwinder – The Doctor. Dan Humble, and Brendan Sarson also demonstrated a high level of professionalism and experience as they placed multiple times through out the week,.

We should also mention the amazing opportunity that was presented to our young Trigg Island members, courtesy of Race One, when 6 Shaw & Partners Ironmen & Ironwomen, joined them for a training session on Thursday morning. Many getting lots of tricks to take forward with them as they continue the fun, and develop their skills as they grow.

We’re very proud of our members, who all represented our club with professionalism, and amazing sportsmanship.
