It was an awesome weekend of racing at the 2015 Waka Te Tasman - thanks to all those that traveled from near and far for the event! This was our biggest Kaiteriteri race to date with over 300 paddlers racing over 2 days.

Unfortunately Tangaroa and Tāwhirimātea were unforgiving on Friday which resulted in some awesome conditions for the adults singles and W2s but tough conditions for a new rangatahi and novice teams - who instead raced in the bay.

Saturday was the quite the opposite with conditions staying very flat throughout the day. The women's race saw a massive 17 teams battling it out in the 1km, 12km and 8km events. Then to top the weekend off...24 teams headed to the start line for the men and mixed race, with some close racing through the three events.

Huge thank you to our sponsors below and everyone who made the event possible.

Thank you to Shoreline cafe for the awesome kai and hospitality after the event

Keep an eye out on the calendar for next years dates and we will see you there!
