Favourite Vaikobi Item: definitely the V cold L/S top, this is seriously key for Paddling in NZ throughout the winter. It’s very comfortable and keeps you warm at the same time.

An inspirational Athlete, Rachel is coming back to form after getting through a cancer scare in 2015 after a routine visit to her GP discovered pre-cancerous cells requiring a cervical biopsy. Rachel is promoting cervical cancer awareness and is encouraging women of all ages to have regular check ups with their Doctor.
When Rachel is not training or racing, she is keeping the streets safe as a member of the NZ Police Force on the North Shore of Auckland!
Rach is an integral part of the Vaikobi family and we love having her onboard.
