Burners — A Movement That Shapes Champions On and Off the Water
Burners is more than a youth kayaking programme — it’s a coaching philosophy and a culture. For over 20 years, it has helped paddlers grow into fierce athletes, curious learners, and confident people — all through world-class freestyle and whitewater development.

From junior talent to world-class contender, Ben’s journey began with Burners and led him to a World Championship silver medal in 2022.
Since then, he’s joined Jacko’s Athlete Roster and continues to grow into one of the top freestyle paddlers in the world — proof that Burners doesn’t just develop potential; it shapes champions.

Josh’s path has been uniquely his own. After starting in freestyle with Burners, he stayed connected — helping run events and supporting the community.
Recently, he’s made a new name for himself in kayak surfing, with Jacko’s coaching helping him break through as a serious force on the waves. A new chapter, same Burners spirit.
