What does the club do?
We are an active club involved in the sport of Waka Ama or Outrigger Canoe paddling, located at Sulphur Point, Tauranga.
Teams actively train several times a week year-round, and we run a Beginner Paddler/development programme over summer.
Social Club
We organise day trips for our club members and have been to Omokoroa and the Wairoa river. We also have trips planned to Maketu along the Mount beach, and possibly Bowentown.
Resources
There are enough paddles, jackets and other equipment for all the canoes. There are a number of paddlers within the club who are happy to assist with coaching and training.
Fundraising
Our main focus is paddling, so we only do a couple of fundraisers during the year. We run a small regatta, the Omokoroa Dash in February, and we also deliver the Yellow Pages books.
Competitions
We attend numerous regattas during the year, which range in distance from 500m sprints through to a 42km marathon. Each team/squad has their own focus, but often we will all try to attend nominated regattas.
We have had several club members represent us at the World Sprint Champs, which are held every two years.
Come and join us! See you on the water…!
