Press release:
Day 3
Karapiro National Sprint Championships 2019

Today we had 13 Championship Finals and our Corporate race – here we level the ground, sponsors become paddlers just like everyone else. Waka Ama is a perfect equalizer as regardless of age or station, it all comes down to technique, teamwork, and commitment to the kaupapa.

Tomorrow we have Singles Paddlers from 11 years to 70+, we feature adaptive paraplegic paddlers who are aiming to qualify for the Olympic games. More about this as it unfolds tomorrow (Thursday 17th)
