Due to the tight time frame it would be great to have the team made up of paddlers based in Auckland as we have a coach and programme in place here, however we will look alternatives if need to.

We currently have 3 commited and now looking for a steerer and 2-3 others. Preferably you would have been involved in the recent Club Nationals or if not, have at least kept up personal fitness and have reasonable paddling experience.

Appreciate this sounds last minute but with the large Samoan community here the last thing we want is 'zero' representation. Look forward to you call
