Camaraderie in the waka at Nelson Lakes Race

Try it out before you join

We offer a couple of ‘getting started’ paddles for a koha to introduce you to waka ama.

If you decide you’d like to paddle on a regular basis you will need to join the club. Joining in our social paddles is a good way to get to know people and find regular crews. You are welcome to paddle on a more casual basis, filling in when crew members are away or joining the social paddles on Friday evenings or Sunday mornings.

The club provides lifejackets and paddles for beginners.
