TRAVIS GRANT'S STUNNING DOUBLE AT AOCRA NATIONALS

Outtrigger Canoe, COFFS HARBOUR (December 12): Gold Coast waterman Travis Grant has wrapped up a stunning double at the Australian Outrigger Canoe Racing Association's (AOCRA) National Marathon Championships in Coffs Harbour today.

Just 24 hours after his victory in the prestigious 25 kilometre Outrigger Canoe 1 Championship yesterday Grant was back on the water today, winning the 10km Stand Up Paddle from Coffs Harbour to Sawtell.

The 28-year-old held off  fellow Currumbin paddler Paul Jackson with Manly's Andy Davies, the winner of Saturday's 25km Stand Up division, third.

Saturday saw Grant break another Gold Coaster, Greg Long's three-year stranglehold on the Australian title with the hard slog from Coffs Harbour, north to Woolgoolga, with Todd Cohen (Mooloolaba) second and Long third.

Grant broke his opposition from the start of today's Stand Up Paddle race and he maintained the lead as the fields made the most of perfect sunny and light nor-east conditions.
