Tēnā koutou katoa,


Kaihoe O Ngati Rehia Trust - Waka Ama club invite you all to participate in our Annual Pearl of the North event, at Tapuwaetahi Beach. The course is deigned to be inclusive to novice and seasoned kaihoe. Tapuwaetahi has a unique contour, in which we can incorporate short, medium or long distance races. The water is divine and the spectators can take in the action for the most part of the event.
