This Week In Buzz

16 September 2025

Buzz,

It's been a cracker of a week - Tsing Yi small boat and a fishy dinner to boot. The kayak trip is coming up and there's another race to train toward now as well.

Before we bask in the photos, here's what the coaches had to say.

Coaches Corner

Tsing Yi race was a perfect demonstration of skills learned, adjusted and performed.

Since the end of July, we have modified our training sessions toward individual development with a detail-oriented focus. From stressing hip rotation to loading upper body (not merely top arm) weight on paddle, from focusing on catching water deep and not simply catching rating; the team have clearly improved both technically and mentally.

We are so excited to see all these being executed and improved throughout the day. Leading up to the SKW race on Oct 12, we will use the first half to bring focus back on individual coaching before implementing race strategies in the 10 days before race day.

See you at practise this week.

Tsing Yi Race

Sunday was a fun day in the sun, with much to be happy about in our performance on the water. The results of the day were:

Boat	Result
Women	Gold Cup - 3rd Place
Mixed Society	Gold Cup - 5th Place
Open	Gold Bowl - 6th Place
Mixed Open	Silver Bowl - 2nd Place

Well done everyone, and well done to our MVPs on the day: Shirley, Kristel, Zach, and Carson!
