Voice of Participant Survey - Waka Ama New Zealand
Earlier this year we provided you with the link for your club and club members to take part in a survey that conducted research to find out how paddlers or their parents (for juniors) view their Waka Ama experience. Thank you to all the clubs, paddlers and parents who took part in the survey and provided responses. We had great response given the crazy COVID times we were all dealing with at the time and the results provide our sport with a lot of great feedback and insights to be able to build from at all levels.
