Postponement!
Due to the very poor weather forecast for this coming Sunday, the Ice Water Paddler Series Race 3 has been postponed until Sunday 31 July.
I know that some of us are hardy enough that we would paddle regardless, but I’m worried about keeping the time keepers happy too ;).
Questions? Call Joern on 021-1250997
Paddlers were greeted by a pretty decent chilly Southeasterly, but otherwise sunny-ish conditions at Race 1 of the Series. A big thanks to all teams supporting the event, and what a fantastic effort by PCKC as the host of Race 1. The event was very well run, and sets a benchmark for races 2 and 3.

Race 2 will be hosted by Hawaiki Nui Tuarua Waka Ama Club, on 6 August 2016. Please ensure that you get your entries on time for Race 2 and 3. For Race 1 we had several teams enter at the last minute, which makes it hard for organisers to plan ahead. Please help our event organisers by being organised.

Welcome to the Hoe Tonga W6 PADDLA Series 2016, proudly supported by
The Series has been designed to enable W6 teams to prepare for the Long Distance Nationals 2016, and to attract new paddlers to our sport. Races consist of a long course (10-15km) for senior teams, and a shorter course (5-8km) for junior and novice (1st year paddling) teams. The Series is overseen by Hoe Tonga, but each individual race is hosted and organised by a member club.
