Man's death rocks outrigger event
PANAMUNA Outrigger Canoe Club president Brad Martin has expressed his sympathies after a competitor died in an outrigger canoe event hosted by the club in Mooloolaba on Saturday.
"It was upsetting for the competitors and also the members of the club doing the rescue work," Mr Martin said.
"I would like to thank all the competitors and spectators on the day who respected the privacy of the first aid team and allowed them to do their work. It's just an unfortunate accident and all competitors should still keep competing in the spirit of Aloha."
