ORA - WELCOME
Welcome
to our club site. If you're new or visiting and want to know
more about us and what we do then read on.
Our
sport of choice is waka ama or outrigger canoe racing. We operate
from Marina Park in the heart of Gisborne City on the East Coast
of the North Island of Aotearoa (NZ). Marina Park is located
at the junction of the two rivers Waimata & Taruheru. They
trisect the city & suburbs and form the Turanganui River
at their confluence,. which then flows on out into the Pacific
Ocean, about one kilometre downstream.
We're
fortunate to have a mix of stillwater paddling on our rivers
and open water paddling out in the ocean. We're guaranteed a
paddle at least 99% of the year so if you're planning a visit,
give us a call & usually we can make space for an extra
paddler or two.
The
highlight of our year is the Annual National Sprints held during
mid summer. Our sprint season is relatively short & intense
and is followed by various longer distance events around the
country.

New
Waka
More
additions were made to our waka fleet recently with the purchase
of three OC1s, one OC6 Mahimahi and a Mac360 coaching boat.
They were all blessed by our Kaumatua, Rex Takao and will be
used for training as we close into our regional W1 trials on
the 5th Dec. and the Sprint Nationals starting Tuesday 19th
January 2010.
The
OC1s will be used for competition only ie sprint trials and
nationals and will not be used for general day to day training
as there are sufficient OC1s available for this purpose.
Merry
Christmas
&
a
Happy
