Waka Ama

VENUE: Invercargill Rowing Oreti River.

There will be a minimum of one training session per week for each student, with options for extra training for those students who have extra time.

Training will proceed if the water is not too rough, even if it is raining.  Off water activities will be completed on rough water days including safety, equipment, strapping, rigging and derigging a waka, nutrition and hydration, theory and tikanga.

Because waka ama is an all weather sport, students need appropriate attire including  tights or thermals with shorts, thermal top, light waterproof jacket, warm hat, and a towel plus a change of clothes. Booties will be provided.  Please advise if clothing/equipment is needed.

Contact details, emergency contact details and medical information are needed to ensure student safety.  These will be held securely and used to share correspondence or in cases of emergency.
