Getting to the start line was a victory in itself. With less than two months to prepare, qualify, and organize travel to El Salvador, SIC Maui athletes had to overcome both logistical and competitive challenges before even stepping onto the water. Riders Ethan and Eliott Bry (FRA), David Leao (Brazil), Soryn Preston (USA) and Jojo Karst (GER) secured their spots and arrived ready. The heat was on — literally and figuratively — as the 2025 ICF World Championships launched last Wednesday in Abu Dhabi, where the world’s best paddlers gathered to chase gold under the desert sun. More than 460 competitors from 56 nations hit the water, competing in a setting as stunning as it was demanding. Latest stories
