A Tokyo-bound Olympic K1 sprinter might be an unlikely prospect to compete at the Manuka Performance Heads to Harbour Paddle Festival in Whakatane on April 3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

However, Anne Cairns has never been an orthodox paddler and the Samoan K1 Olympian will use the ocean ski event as part of her preparation for her second Olympic Games later this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Dividing her time between living in Palmerston North \u2013 where she works as firefighter \u2013 and New Plymouth where her partner lives \u2013 the versatile 40-year-old describes her lifestyle as \u201cunconventional.\u201d<\/p>

Training at four to five different location \u2013 including on a 750m lagoon which is little more than \u201ca duck pond\u201d may not be the ideal scenario but through a genuine passion for paddling built up over more than 20 years, Anne has \u201cmade it work.\u201d<\/p>

With a background in surf lifesaving, she later developed into a world\u2019s top ten wildwater kayak racer until in 2007 she was introduced to canoe sprint and featured as part of the New Zealand development squad for several seasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Unfortunately, kayaking did not work out back then for the woman born to a Kiwi dad and Samoan mum – but she continued to paddle in both waka ama and multisport.<\/p>

Yet it was after watching Lisa Carrington strike gold in the K1 200m at the London 2012 Olympics which reignited her passion for canoe sprint and a new dream was born.<\/p>

\u201cI had some knowledge of how the qualification worked and I thought given my Samoan roots, why don\u2019t I give qualifying for Samoa via the Oceania spot a crack? So in late-2012 I jumped in a K1 again with an eye for qualifying for the 2016 Olympics.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Coached at the time by Briton Richard Forbes, Anne achieved her goal and represented her country in both the K1 200m and K1 500m at the Rio Olympic Games.<\/p>

Describing the experience as \u201camazing\u201d and \u201ca dream come\u201d she later opted to commit to pursuing a spot on the team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>

\u201cI thought, so few people get the chance to compete at one Olympics but even fewer get the chance to compete at two, so I would regret not giving it another crack,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In February last year she booked her Olympic spot for Tokyo via the Oceania Champs in Australia.<\/p>

Yet Anne has never all been about kayak and prefers to mix up her paddling experiences. She has paddled a waka in the Molokai Crossing. She has won global medals at the Rafting World Championships and in 2015 was invited to make her surf ski debut at the World Surf Ski Championships in Tahiti.<\/p>

The rookie placed a respectable 17th<\/sup> \u2013 behind New Zealand\u2019s gold medallist Teneale Hatton \u2013 and despite competed in a borrowed ski that was \u201ca bit tippy for me in the conditions\u201d \u2013 it was a memorable experience for the Samoan paddler.<\/p>

\u201cI had an awesome time over there,\u201d she says. \u201cI love ocean ski racing it is one of my favourite forms of paddling and the more I\u2019ve competing and learned about surf ski the more I\u2019ve enjoying it.\u201d<\/p>

Given her K1 commitments she spends limited time training in a ski. However, given her surf lifesaving background she has good knowledge of the ocean and with a fierce competitive desire she has put together some very strong results in recent months.<\/p>

Back in September she claimed victory in the Poor Knights Crossing in Tutakaka and last month she took out a pair of second place finishes at the Bhutty Moore-Morial and King and Queen of the Bay events.<\/p>

Currently sitting third in the women\u2019s single ski division of the 2020-21 Darcy Price Series \u2013 which concludes with the Heads to Harbour event which doubles as the New Zealand Surf Ski Champs \u2013 she has been both shocked and delighted with her performance level.<\/p>

\u201cI haven\u2019t been doing a heap of mileage because I\u2019m on a 200m K1 training programme and it is all about me becoming faster for Tokyo,\u201d adds Anne, who is now coached by Gavin Elmiger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI train on my own, so crossing over to compete in surf ski is a real bonus. I enjoy the racing and just use that as part of my training.\u201d<\/p>

Anne is relishing the prospect of competing at the inaugural Heads to Harbour event which takes place on a stunning stretch of coastline in an area with which she shares a close affinity.<\/p>

\u201cI really love being in Ohope,\u201d she explains. \u201cI grew up visiting my auntie there every summer and it has a special place in my heart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt is a beaut of a spot and I can\u2019t wait to get among the racing and to socialise with other paddlers but also to support the Whakatane area. They\u2019ve been through some tough times following the White Island disaster and the closure of the mill in June, which will lead to the loss of more than 200 jobs. To get people visiting the area staying in accommodation there and eating at their restaurants will be a boost to their community.\u201d<\/p>
