Check out the updated times and placings for 2020

Ever wondered who are the teams, clubs and individuals who have won the Waka Ama Sprint Nationals before? What their times were? How many times your club has won an event? Which regions have been strong in which events? Who are the teams to watch this year? Who are the individuals that have won W1 titles? Well..... we have spent much time gathering historic results and putting them all together so that we have a record of National Title Holders to date. 

The attached spreadsheet has 3 tabs:

W6 500m Title holders
W6 turns Title holders
W1 500m Title holders

There are a few years results that we do not yet have - all of the results we have to date are attached below:

• 1990
• 2003-2016

If you have a copy of the results that we are missing, or you know who was a Champion in a year that we are missing, please let us know by emailing admin@wakaama.co.nz

This historic record took much time to put together and we are delighted that we now have all this information recorded in one please for future generations to refer to.
It will be updated annually from now on.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

    chur - 06-Feb-2014
12. No results for Maui coming in 7 - 8yrs? and no time of 2.07 for nikolai titov so according to these results Tyrins still the fastest open men out of NZ.
    chur - 06-Feb-2014
13. Is it possible to try and get these same kind of records but for the world sprints over the times. or who are the current record holders time wise?

14. Yep Tyrin's the champ alright! I think most open mens paddlers would agree he could have won more if he didn't have a break. Perfect technique
    TPOTI - 06-Feb-2014
15. It's great to have it. But I can't see the Golden Master results.
    Katja - 07-Feb-2014

19. Yeah Tarawera Raiders course record u19 1995. unbeatable
    red dog - 14-Feb-2014
20. This is cool. Some of the times are wrong though. U19s times were much closer to open times. Manawaru win in the opens was a 2:02 in 500m. I remember cause we were racing for a box of beers trying to crack 2 mins. Otherwise this is handy to have, thank you. Results from the world champs would be great cheers.
    Cc - 25-Feb-2014
21. Awesome to see the results. Times would be so up in the air with all the different winds and length of courses. So I wouldn't be comparing times.
