Koroneihana Hoe Results
We would like to thank all paddlers and their supporters who came to our event during the annual Koroneihana, in particular our Christchurch paddlers who flew up the night before to paddle with us. Conditions were foggy at the start and then sunny as the race wore on. There was good racing in both the 10km and 14km with lead changes throughout the race. Tupu King was the fastest man and too good on the day backing up his good result in Tahiti. Nicky Kingi had a solid race staying in front of the local women paddlers.
