Yesterday seen the first sprint race for 2024 Te Waka Taiohika o Murihiku Rangatahi Waka Ama Programme. An awesome day had by all, our rangatahi competed well over a 250m race course on a flat calm day at Oreti Awa. As well, shout out to Whaea Tra Mac and Aunty K for hosting a Steering Clinic on Saturday, this paved the way for our new steerers to give it a go today on the Awa steering.
Finally a massive shout out to: Matua Gaz & Papa Bear for supporting on the Safety Boat, Southland Powerboat Club, Matua Ross from Te Piritahi a Rua, Big Daddy on the Mike, Invercargill Rowing Club, Miriam from Rocka Mocka Coffee and the many whānau and supporters that attended, and Fiordland College who traveled from Te Anau.
We look forward to our second sprint race for 2024 in 3 months time.
Ka Piki Te Whānau - Kia Piki Te Ora.
