Wanted: Senior Master Men

Posted on by

kia ora waka ama whanau, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the “Paddle Pops”. The Paddle Pops are a new team of Senior Master Men paddlers whose goal it is to be competitive within their age bracket or at least work hard and have fun to get there. 

Each week we train from Hikoikoi Waka ama, 24 Marine Parade, Petone on Monday and Wednesday nights from 5:30 pm and on Sunday morning from 7:30 am, not for the faint hearted. These times will change over summer.
 
At the moment we have 7 keen paddlers from a number of waka ama clubs :Tunui, Kokiri, Hawaikinui and Hikoikoi, but we would love to have more paddlers to possibly enter in water change events or compete against each other.
 
If you are a male and at least 49 years old then please contact me, Ron Sederel, on 021-244 5082 and I will be able to answer all your questions or get you a seat on one of our waka’s.
