Lower North Island Events rocking along

Welly Paddlers have been part of a big effort along with both the Whanganui Kayak Club, Mana Kayak Racing Club Organising the four Central Region Paddle events were part of the Canoe Racing New Zealand "Kayak Krazy 10 km / 5 km / 2.5 km Series.




Over the 4 x Events there well over 50 Paddlers supporting each event and this was due to the awesome support of Surf Life Saving Clubs, Waka Ama Clubs, various Kayak Clubs and also individual multisporters all coming together to boost the numbers of this traditionally, in the past, K1 focused event.

These events are now dominated by surf ski, waka ama and multisporters who make up around 65 % of all entries.



Moving along we are now heading into another block of Events which will bring out a good portion more paddlers that may not have attended any of the CRNZ events.

These events are all worth supporting and again help pass the winter by......by pushing ahead through to Spring, which by keeping moving, Summer will be here before you know it.

We are really looking forward to Organising the "Foxton Loop Race" which will see the most diverse array of craft that you've seen at any event before. Expect to see the following craft :

stand up paddle boards - prone paddle boards - waka ama  W1, W2 & W6 - surf life saving surf skis boards and surf canoes - multisport kayaks - sea kayaks - ocean racing surf skis - K1 & K2 - adventure racing doubles
