Matt Lumley has bounced back from injury to come second in the Corona Classic last week in Merimbula and today he won the first COREBAN Great Melbourne Paddle race.

Congrats Matt.. and bad luck Cam and Woogie for missed a mark giving them a slight advantage and cutting the course.. I think Cam and Woogie were so tied up in an epic battle between them they weren't watching where they were going.

What a great day.. What great conditions.. What a great turn up.. and thanks to all those who helped on the day.. Also thanks to Coreban, SHQ, RPS and the many other sponsors.

We had about 100 paddlers and less than 5 knots of wind for the whole event.. Also congrats to Linda being the first female.. Awesome effort.. Pics and vids soon.
