Worlds 2010 - Mens Campaign - Working hard and looking sharp
The senior mens campaign are working hard towards the Worlds Sprint Championships in May 2010 in Noumea, New Caledonia.
They are paddling the distances, taking on new challenges, staying focused, doing the hard yards, making the sacrifices and giving up their money, time and energy - to represent YOU and the rest of Aotearoa.
As you know, representing Aotearoa takes a huge financial commitment and in this time of economic downturn it doesn't get any easier. The mens campaign have chosen to fundraise by selling tshirts, fitted tees (womens), singlets and Youth/child tees. The men want to give paddlers, whanau and supporters an opportunity to wear a symbol of their united support (kotahitanga) regardless of what club or region your with. Look sharp, get your Team Aotearoa tee and show a national pride with our 'Waka Blacks'.
