Get to know the athletes representing Australia at the 2026 World Championships — introducing Martin Letch.

Martin will be competing at the 22nd FAI World Canopy Formation Championships in Lake Elsinore, California from 08-14 October 2026.

First competing for Australia on home soil at the 2018 World Parachuting Championships on the Gold Coast, Martin’s desire to continuously learn and improve has led to many achievements at both national and international level with his long-time 2-way Sequential Canopy Formation teammate Tommaso Watson. Joined by Matt Teager on camera, South Australia’s “Line Burns” are going into this year’s World Championships aiming to improve their point average and beat their current benchmark of 7th place at a World Championships.
