Karewa Revival Race Report & Results
Karewa Ocean race was revived with special thanks to those paddlers whom travelled from as far as Auckland, Gisborne, Whakatane, Hamilton, Rotorua & Tauranga. It was great to have your support for our KAREWA Island race and both Fluffy Slipper crews who are preparing for World Sprint Championships in Canada.
The BAY turned it all on! The weather was perfect & with cargo ships coming and going, fishing boats crossing our path, seals basking on the rocks, seagulls flying above & clear aqua marine water there was no stopping these paddlers from being distracted – there goals were intent; Paddle, Race & Finish 28km of pure distance. Congratulations Paddlers! You completed our challenge.
