Olympian Murray Stewart wins bronze at the World Champs

It is an honour to have Olympian Murray Stewart as a Funky Trunks athlete and we were with him in spirit as he won bronze in the K4 1000 A event at the World Canoe Championships in Duisburg, Germany this past weekend.

At the 2012 London Olympics, Manly Surf Livesaver Murray won gold as part of the men's K4 team in the 1000m event and it was this same crew he shared the podium with on Sunday.

Murray grew up paddling, his Dad was a top paddler in South Africa and Murray won national surf livesaving medals as a junior on his surf ski. He started kayaking in 2005 and despite setbacks with injury and illness he progressed up the world rankings and his team will be hoping to retain their title in Rio.

We look forward to working with Murray as he career goes from strength to strength proudly wearing his Funky Trunks.
