Bio
Earning his spot in the 2024/25 Shaw and Partners Iron Series the hard way (through the Trial, presented by Race One Surf Craft), Joel Piper went from strength to strength during the three Rounds before coming within centimetres of the overall trophy. This season, Piper aims to do one better and take out the whole thing. When not competing and training, Piper works fulltime in Finance and loves chilling at the beach with the doggo and his mates.

What is your training hack?
Having a good activation beforehand!
What is the best piece of advice that you have ever been given?
It’s not about the situation, it’s about how you react to the situation.
What is your race day routine?
Wake up and stretch, have a swim at local pool and a coffee. Relax then head to the beach.
