Club Trips and Events

Subject to flows, we will paddle in order of high flows/rain -> low flows/lack of rain: maitai, roding, wairoa (bridges), motueka

I will send an update the day before to say what river we will do / where we will meet either via email (if you have expressed interest) and/or the NKC WW Whatsapp group (scan QR code on NKC whitewater page)

The aim of this course is to get you up to paddling easier whitewater (Grade 2) confidently and having fun. We start with 3 pool sessions (7, 13 & 15 Oct) to introduce and hone the basic paddle strokes and build your confidence both right-way-up and upside down. For those who want to try rolling, we offer that too (although it is not a pre-requisite for the river sessions. The river sessions start on the gentle rapids of the Wairoa River at Max's Bush on 18 October and build up to the Motueka and Rai-Pelorus on 31 Oct-1 Nov. Safety is paramount; we will really look after you.
