The State’s premier stand-up paddleboarders are ready to take over 24km of the Peel coastline on Saturday as the King of the Cut race celebrates its 10th anniversary.

The downwind run from Dawesville Cut to Secret Harbour will feature a who’s who of paddlers, including the “Aussie SUP Powerhouse” himself, 2019 APP World Tour distance champion Michael Booth.

Also among the field is Jaclyn Nichol, returning to the event a year after she became the first woman to enter the wing foil division of the King of the Cut.

With a wave of women set to join her in this weekend’s wing foil category, Nichol said she did not think of herself as a trailblazer, but she was delighted not to be the only woman in the division this year.

“It’s amazing seeing how many women have joined the sport in the last 12 months,” she said.

“I definitely opened the door for the women to not feel nervous about their abilities, and where they are in their wind foiling, and give it a go.

“For me, it’s about that next generation and inspiring those girls to believe in themselves and give things a go, even if you’re in a remote area.”

Hailing from the Pilbara, where the swells pale in comparison to what awaits her on Saturday, Nichol said she could not wait for the run, which stacked up against any in the world.

“It’s so consistent and so perfect for the runner. It’s an amazing body of water to get out and challenge yourself on,” she said.

“I really love the event. It’s not about being up against each other, it’s about you and the ocean and you’ve got to make it to the end.”
