The NZ kayaking squad is gearing up for the start of their World Cup onslaught, with World Cup 1 in Poland the first on the chopping block. The Open team has a busy morning racing on Friday with the first of their World Cup races starting at 9.30am (7.30pm NZ). First on the starting blocks is Teneale Hatton in the WK1 500m, followed by Ben Fouhy in the K1 1000m at 9.55am (7.55pm NZ time) and Steven Ferguson & Darryl Fitzgerald in the K2 1000m at 10.58am (8.58pm NZ time). Lisa Carrington and Erin Taylor then step up at 11.33am (9.33pm NZ time) in the WK2 1000m. The afternoon has Ben racing again in the K1 500m at 3.25pm (1.25am NZ) and Steve and Darryl the K2 500m at 4.10pm (2.10am NZ). So it's action all the way on Friday with semifinals also having to factor in. Saturday will feature Lisa and Erin in the WK2 500m at 2.00pm (12am NZ) and Teneale in the WK1 200m at 3.00pm (1.00am NZ) followed by Ben at 3.25pm (1.25am NZ) in the K1 500m and Steve and Darryl K2 500m at 4.10pm (2.10am NZ). Steve and Darryl have a racy new K2 in a distinctly NZ design, as does Lisa in her new K1 with the Maori design on the front kiwi pride all the way! The next World Cup will be held in Duisburg 26-27 May 2012. London 1908 Olympic Summer Games
