Awards Committee 2024


It’s that time of year again when we start to consider which paddlers out there deserve a nomination for a Paddle WA Annual Award.

A highlight on our calendar, we look forward to acknowledging the many outstanding contributions and accomplishments within the Western Australian paddling community.

A vital part of this process is our Awards Committee and we are very grateful to them for volunteering their time and expertise to ensuring there is a fair and equally considered process of Award selection.

This year we have a wonderfully diverse group working well together, adding insight and conversation and decisions.

Thank you, Ken.

We would like to make a special mention of Ken Vidler who has retired from the Awards Committee this year after four years of dedicated support.

Ken Board Member
Ken Vidler, an amazing human, volunteer superhero, amazing paddler and all-round nice guy.

Ken is an amazing human, and we are very grateful to him for his contribution not only to our Awards Program, but to the integrity and endurance of Paddling in Western Australia.
