In what can only be described as a devastating blow to Tracy and Bonnie, Tracy has been injured in a pre comp warm up and will be returning home from portugal early. A collision with another paddler has resulted in a serious shoulder injury that will require immediate attention on her return and end her campaign for 2009. Our hearts are with you Tracy and we wish you a safe rturn and very speedy recovery as it wont be the same in the surf without you.

All our best wishes and a get well soon.
Janet and Ross and all of our Team, family and friends.

Mega Australia's Team Kayak Surfers have arrived on Monday 20th July in Portugal ready for the World Surf Kayak Championships. A late night call to me Monday night, revealed that the Airlines had severley mistreated Bonnies Mega Prowler and cracked the coaming rim, and a small crack on the rear of Tracy's Mega Neutron RV with something heavy. The guys have accessed some good epoxy resin and got themselves back on the water and we await the results from the comp this week.

Well done guys, good to see our Team are up to task not only on the water but in the workshop as well.
