We bring you the lowdown on the life and times of the 21-year-old NZ women\u2019s squad member.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water background<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born the middle of three children to a Samoan mum and father of European descent, Samalulu was raised in Grey Lynn, Auckland \u2013 where she still lives today.<\/p>\n

Her parents were keen for Samalulu to be water safe so at the age of nine took her along to Muriwai Volunteer Lifeguard Service, where her formal sporting story began.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed spending time at the ocean, even though when I was younger I was scared of the big waves,\u201d she admits. \u201cI really started to enjoy surf lifesaving after I got over my fear of the waves and became a lifeguard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kayak beginnings<\/strong><\/p>\n

While many paddlers start out in surf-ski (surf lifesaving) before later graduating to kayak, for Samalulu her paddling journey came the opposite way around. She was advised to start out in a kayak as good practise for surf-ski and at the age of 13 was taken through her paces by North Shore club coach, Gavin Elmiger.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must have fell out at least 100 times (in those early days) \u2013 the kayak is so tippy, but over time I found I really enjoyed it,\u201d she explains. \u201cI kept going back and eventually after six months or so progressed to a K1.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking in a K1 gave me a good paddling base. Gavin worked hard on my technique and it fully translated when I hopped into a ski.\u201d<\/p>\n

National medal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samalulu made her competitive debut at the 2013 New Zealand Canoe Sprint Championships and was hugely excited to win a bronze medal in the U14 K2 500m alongside Sarah Lockwood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d not won anything before,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was the best day of my life, I couldn\u2019t stop smiling.<\/p>\n

Samalulu continued combining kayaking and surf lifesaving \u2013and later switched to the Mairangi Bay Surf Life Saving Club \u2013 claiming national medals in both sports. In sprint kayaking she fondly recalls some momentous head-to-head clashes in the age-group divisions with Danielle Watson and Alicia Hoskin \u2013 both of whom also today feature as part of the NZ women\u2019s kayak squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlicia and I had many battles over the years in the 5km,\u201d explains Samalulu, a former Avondale College student. \u201cI would try every tactic in the book to beat Alicia (over 5km) but she always pipped me on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

International gains<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samalulu\u2019s form saw her earn a call up for the 2016 World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus. Competing in the K1 200m she reached the semi-finals and learned much from the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to be able to focus on kayaking was great as was the fact I was receiving one-on-one coaching every day,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Twelve months later she returned for the 2017 edition of the World Championships in Pitesti, Romania. Competing as part of the Kiwi K4 500m crew alongside Alex Bermingham, Olivia Brett and Danielle Watson the quartet performed commendably to place fourth in the B Final.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was cool to experience racing on the world stage,\u201d she says. \u201cI learned so much from racing internationally, like getting used to racing in start gates, and on a world-class course against some world-class athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n

National call up<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a quiet determination to succeed, the Aucklander has slowly made improvements and in November last year was called up as part of the New Zealand women\u2019s squad based out of Lake Pupuke.<\/p>\n

Now aged 21 the Bachelor of Food and Nutrition student at the University of Auckland is enormously proud to have made the squad and believes she has continued to progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experiences over the past ten months have been really positive,\u201d she explains. \u201cThe volume of training is now a little greater (than previously) but I\u2019ve found it really refreshing to just now just be able to focus on kayaking (up until joining the national women\u2019s squad she was still combining canoe sprint with surf lifesaving).<\/p>\n

\u201cMy coach Jasper Bats is really awesome he has helped me a lot with my technique and that\u2019s where I feel I\u2019ve made huge improvements. It has also been cool to be around the elite girls. I\u2019ve looked from afar for many years but it is great to see their work ethic and commitment \u2013 it is really inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dogged determination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this year at the 2020 National Championships, Samalulu placed seventh in the K1 500m and eighth in the K1 200m and believes her greatest strength is her determination to improve.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel I\u2019m good at executing training and that I\u2019m resilient and never give up,\u201d she adds. \u201cI think this comes from my surf background, where you can be leading a race and then somebody catches a wave from the back and comes through to win. In surf you never give up because you could be that person. I\u2019ve taken that mindset with me through to kayaking where you should never count yourself out of a race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pandemic challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the pandemic Samalulu has remained focused and disciplined with her training.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no lack of motivation training in lockdown and trained right through,\u201d she explains. \u201cI borrowed an erg from my club and I set up a home gym with borrowed equipment from friends. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever run as much in my life! A classic session was a 30-minute paddle, followed by a 30-minute run and then a 30-minute paddle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pandemic also created an unusual situation for her parents Feeonaa (a Canoe Racing NZ Board member) and Neville, who married in February after 25 years together in February.<\/p>\n

The couple decided to go on a six-week trip to take in the Falkland Islands, her father\u2019s country of birth, and South America. After only two weeks borders closed because of the Covid-19 crisis and the pair became stranded on the Falkland Islands. Their planned trip turned into a five-month period stuck on the remote islands situated in the South Atlantic, until a New Zealand fishing vessel, the San Aotea II, took them home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was five months with myself, older brother, Tuva\u2019a (who has qualified to kayak for the Samoan team) and younger sister, Aotea, at home without parents,\u201d Samalulu says.<\/p>\n

Speed Queen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Naturally suited to the 500m \u2013 Samalulu also loves competing in the K4 500m because \u201cit is the fastest boat and you reach speeds you normally can\u2019t reach on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the longer term she is aiming for a spot on the New Zealand team at either the 2024 or 2028 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Yet above her personal ambitions, she fully embraces the daily pleasure of kayaking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just love being out on the water every morning,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ve been paddling for eight years now. and I love it more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
