Paddle Queensland staged the 2026 Canoe Sprint State Championships on February 7 at Lake Samsonvale, a key venue for flatwater water sports in the Moreton Bay region. The championships featured Canoe Sprint, Para Canoe and SUP categories, with athletes across multiple disciplines competing over 100 m, 200 m, and 500 m distances (paddleqld.asn.au). The event underscored the role of local infrastructure in supporting water sport clubs such as Samford ASC Inc, providing accessible competitive opportunities within their region.
