Social Paddles

Weather permitting we have social paddles every Sunday morning at 10am. We meet at the far end of Kaiteretere Beach - you will see the waka at the beach. Please be there shortly before 10am to help prepare the waka.

Social paddles are great for first time paddlers. During these sessions, you will be introduced to tikanga and paddling techniques. 

You will usually go out in one of the OC6 (OC = outrigger canoe), a six-seat canoe, under the guidance of an experienced steerer.

If you like paddling and want to stay at a social non-competitive level, then Sunday at 10am is for you.  

Paddlers of all ages and experience levels welcome. 

Please go to our Facebook Page or text Callum to let us know that you are paddling and to book your seat! Thank you.
