Ahead of the 2021 NZCT New Zealand Canoe Sprint Championships at Lake Karapiro we put the spotlight on Ethan Moore \u2013 a recent invitee to the men\u2019s national kayak squad.<\/b><\/p>

It may be impossible to definitively conclude that if Ethan Moore\u2019s father was not good pals with James Imrie \u2013 dad of 2016 Rio Olympian and three-time World Championship medallist, Kayla, and Tokyo-bound K2 1000m paddler Kurtis \u2013 the Hutt Valley raised paddler may never have made the men\u2019s kayak squad.<\/p>

But what is undisputable is that connection has played a huge role in Ethan\u2019s sporting pursuits and one which has recently earned him the chance to train on a daily basis with the country\u2019s top sprint kayakers.<\/p>

Raised in the Hutt Valley as an only child to dad, Paddy, and mum, Trena, he says the family forged a deep connection to the Imrie\u2019s and he describes Kurtis and Kayla as \u201clike an older brother and older sister.\u201d<\/p>

It was Kurtis and Kayla\u2019s dad, James, that first introduced Ethan to surf lifesaving and later kayaking. So after the 22-year-old earned an invite to the New Zealand men\u2019s kayak squad last month he fully acknowledged the key role the Imrie family have played.<\/p>

\u201cThey introduced me to kayaking and I probably wouldn\u2019t be in the position I\u2019m in today without them,\u201d he explains. \u201cA lot of thanks does go out to them for their support and what they have done for me.<\/p>

\u201cI was just so happy and relieved to win a place in the squad and that are the stresses and challenges I have faced has been worth it,\u201d he explains. \u201cNow I am finally part of the squad, it is a massive weight off my shoulders.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m stoked that Kurtis (see picture below of Kurtis and Ethan together) is a part of the squad too. Kurtis said \u2018I\u2019m so happy for you little bro. I know how hard you have worked, it is time to boogie again\u2019!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/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

An enthusiastic sportsman for as long as he can remember, Ethan was a keen rugby half back \u2013 although it was the Imrie\u2019s who steered Ethan in the direction of water sports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At the age of 14 he first sat in a kayak at the Mana Club, although he recalls not initially being overly enthused at the prospect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAt first I protested because all I wanted to do was to play rugby,\u201d he explains. \u201cBut I went along and came under the coaching of Mark Watson. He took me under his wing, pointed me in the right direction and that\u2019s where my career started to take off.\u201d<\/p>

Ethan has not an overnight superstar and recalls experiencing regular drenching\u2019s in the Porirua Harbour.\u00a0 <\/span>But training with a good group of mates he started to make progress and suddenly a pathway opened up.<\/p>

He started to win age-group national medals and in 2016 he earned his maiden international experience competing for New Zealand at the Oceania Championships in Adelaide.<\/p>

There he won K2 200m silver alongside Jake Koekemoer. It was a moment to cherish.<\/p>

\u201cIt was amazing, a dream come true,\u201d he adds. \u201cI\u2019d always grown up dreaming of wearing the Silver Fern. To finally achieve that goal \u2013 there was no better feeling.\u201d<\/p>

Later that year he won selection for the World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus \u2013 where he made the semi-final of the K2 200m paddling alongside Jake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Twelve months later he appeared at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Romania, where he featured in the semi-finals of the K4 500m and K1 200m. While he admits to being \u201cblown away\u201d in the latter event \u2013 his international appearances proved positive for the then teenager.<\/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

\u201cIt opened my eyes to what the sport has to offer, the amazing experiences I could have and the life I could possibly be open to,\u201d he explains.<\/p>

His progress continued at 2018 nationals \u2013 where Ethan secured K2 200m silver alongside his long-time pal, Kurtis, as well as K4 200m and K4 500m bronze medals yet his progress came to a shuddering halt when in April of that year he was forced to undergo elbow shoulder.<\/p>

For the best part of a year he barely paddled and he considered walking away from the sport.<\/p>

\u201cAfter surgery I was at my wits end,\u201d recalls Ethan. \u201cI was honestly on the cusp of saying, I\u2019m done with the sport, it is time to just live life.\u201d<\/p>

Despite limited training he competed at the 2019 National Championships \u2013 where he snared a K4 500m silver medal \u2013 but the following month came to the realisation he wanted to once again re-engage seriously with the sport.<\/p>

\u201cI really missed seeing my mates and being out on the boat in the flat water,\u201d recalls Ethan of what prompted the decision.<\/p>

Ethan relocated to Christchurch for several months to train\u00a0 <\/span>alongside Jake under the coaching guidance of Paul Fidow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

He enjoyed his brief period based on the South Island but after Paul opted to move away from coaching, the Lower Hutt raised kayaker was on the move again and opted to join Scott Bicknell\u2019s coaching group – which included Taris Harker \u2013 based at Lake Karapiro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cJake and I both decided the best option for us for to be around the boys and to be part of a good squad,\u201d explains Ethan. \u201cUnder Scott the training was a lot more specialised and I improved in all areas. My 500m went up, I improved in both the gym and 200m.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/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

At the 2020 New Zealand Canoe Sprint Championships, Ethan enjoyed a good all-round performance. Winning gold in the K4 200m and K4 500m (see image above) he placed sixth in the K1 200m final and won the B final of the K1 500m – a performance gave him the belief he had made the right decision to train at Lake Karapiro.<\/p>

Enjoying the benefit of a full winter\u2019s training under Scott, Ethan emerged for the 2020-21 summer campaign in great shape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At Blue Lake 1, the powerfully-built paddler impressed, featuring in the triumphant K4 200m boat and also finishing sixth in the K1 200m.<\/p>

Two months later at Blue Lake 2, he claimed K2 200m silver \u2013 alongside Taris \u2013 K4 200m silver and an eye-catching fourth in the K1 500m A Final \u2013 claiming the scalps of a couple of men\u2019s kayak squad paddlers.<\/p>

\u201cI was shocked and I was beyond over the moon,\u201d adds Ethan. \u201cAfter having the elbow op and having the best part of a year out of the sport these guys had a massive jump on me (in terms of training). In the back of my mind I always wondered whether I could ever be competitive with the top boys. To be able to do this was a massive weight off my shoulders.\u201d<\/p>

On the back of their performances at the Blue Lake regattas, Ethan was invited alongside Taris to join some training sessions with the men\u2019s kayak squad.<\/p>

Then after further impressing at trials the muscular paddler was invited to join the national squad.<\/p>

\u201cWhen I was younger I remember telling my dad how I didn\u2019t want to go to training but he said to me \u2018one day when you make it, you\u2019ll see what I mean?\u2019 The day I got the phone call from Tim Brabants, I knew exactly what dad meant,\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>explains Ethan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Revelling in an environment in which he can learn from more experienced paddlers, Ethan praises the role CRNZ coaches Tim Brabants and Craig Mustard have played in welcoming him to the squad.<\/p>

Believing his main strength is the 200m he admits it was \u201cgut-wrenching\u201d to hear the Olympic Games had removed the 200m distance from the programme beyond Tokyo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

However, he insists he is an adaptable team boat performer he is now looking forward to this week\u2019s National Championships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI just hope to perform the very best I can and leave everything out on the water,\u201d he adds. \u201cAs long as I give it my all every single race I can have no complaints.\u201d<\/p>

In the longer-term he would love to feature at the World U23 Championships later this year \u2013 should the opportunity arise \u2013 and in the future he would relish featuring in the open men\u2019s K4 team.<\/p>

Yet for now, Ethan is happy to take his career development one step at a time \u2013 where, of course, he can lean on the experiences of his close buddies since childhood \u2013 Kurtis and Kayla Imrie.<\/p>

While training with Kurtis every day is something he natural enjoys he also has huge admiration for Kayla.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cShe has been through a lot of heartache in her career but achieved so much,\u201d he explains. \u201cI love to pick her brain when I get the chance. She has some awesome gems. She has said so much to me over the years it is hard to pick one piece of advice but the biggest thing she has taught me is to turn up every day and try your hardest. If you do that, then the results will follow.\u201d<\/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
