He wero ki nga kaihoe o te motu
Ki uta, ki tai, ki Te Waitemata
A challenge to paddlers from across the motu.
Come to Orakei. Take on Te Waitemata.
This is the Orakei Open.
A five-race V1 series hosted by Orakei Water Sports at Okahu Bay, Waitemata Harbour. Set against the backdrop of Rangitoto, the summer series brings paddlers of all levels together in a fast, community-focused points competition across Premier Men, Premier Women, Junior Boys, and Junior Girls categories. Paddlers can follow the action through live leaderboards and paddler profiles on our dedicated race series website, with a $5,200 prize pool up for grabs at the end of the series.
