Thank you to the 260 paddlers from Auckland to Invercargill who travelled and participated, another awesome weekend of waka ama racing at beautiful Kaiteriteri, the top of the South Island.

Kaiteriteri put on sun, rainbows and gusty westerlies which meant some more challenging racing conditions for the mens and mixed event on Saturday afternoon. 

Check out the awesome photos on the Waka Ama NZ Facebook page here. It was great to see people returning on Sunday morning for rigging, Flip and Float and V1 workshops. 

The Motueka Waka Ama club thanks their sponsors; Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve Board, Wakatu Incorporation and Aqua Taxi for their ongoing support of this event. Also a big thank you to all their club members and extras who helped out with organisation and delivery. 

See you at Kaiteriteri November 2015!
