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.

What Is Burners?

How We coach

Coaching at Burners is never one-way.
We work closely with each athlete, tuning into their mindset and helping them build the confidence to grow their own style.
It’s a shared journey — one where our goal is to guide you until you’re ready to lead the way yourself.

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.
