Kaitūao Information

Sprint Nationals cannot operate without the goodwill and manaakitanga of our waka ama whanau volunteering their time and smiles. We are in need of more people who are keen, fit, and who have the ability to volunteer for at least a whole day at a time. 

Loading Bay Kaitūao have the important role of caring for the waka, and ensuring the safety of the paddlers as they enter and exit for their races. This is a rewarding role, as you assist young taitamariki into a waka to race with their friends, and be on hand to congratulate all paddlers at the end of their race.

Volunteers are also important cogs in the Sprint Nationals machine in the areas of administration, results, marshalling, water safety, waste minimisation, and biosecurity. Kaitūao get the chance to experience first hand the mahi involved, and go away with new skills to assist their regions and clubs.
