Akarana Waka Ama invites you to participate in the Metua Ewart Memorial Buoy to Buoy 3km event at Pupuke Moana (Lake Pupuke), Auckland, on the 20th of October 2024. The intention is to have a fun event that offers something to all levels of waka ama paddlers.
Metua Ewart was a vital member of the Akarana Waka Ama Club, dedicating his time to coaching, leading, and participating in Waka ama. Unfortunately, in January 2022, our brother Metua was called to Te Waka o Rangi. We host this event to honour his memory and celebrate the remarkable young man he was. This series is a chance to pay tribute to Metua’s life as a young paddler while uplifting those who have just begun their own journeys.
Metua started his journey, along with many others, at Pupuke Moana (Lake Pupuke). This race is designed to promote and empower young paddlers in the very space where Metua began his Waka ama journey.
