At this year’s Nationals we will be holding several Adaptive-Waka Ama races, W1 250m on Thursday 21st January and W6 Mixed 250m and 500m on Saturday 23rd January.

Many of our clubs have already been in contact with Conan Herbert to arrange teams/paddlers for these races. 

Crews

- Can be from club, region, or mixed region.

- must have a minimum of 3 paddlers with a physical disability

- must have a minimum of 2 female paddlers

- Able bodied paddlers can be from existing club teams

 

Race

- Races will be medal events, no entry fee.

- All W6 waka will be rigged with a safety ama (this will make it fair)

- All W1 Adaptive races will take place on Thursday 21st Jan. I you would like to or know someone who would like to compete in the W1 Adaptive event please contact [email protected]

 

Please contact Conan Herbert - [email protected] if you are a paddler with a disability and interested but do not have a team. Please let us know if you have any special requirements.
