Culture of Waka Ama

The Waka Ama Aotearoa NZ Culture of Waka Ama booklet aims to share, educate, and develop the culture within the sport of waka ama here in Aotearoa with all of our waka ama whānau.

This booklet provides basic information on the history of waka ama, the shared values that underpin our sport, and the culture within our sport.

We encourage our waka ama whānau to engage in the culture of waka ama to ensure the shared vision, values, and integrity of waka ama is upheld and brings to life, ‘Waka Ama - mā te katoa, mō āke tonu!’ ‘Waka Ama - for all, for life!’.
