Waka Ama Ergs
If any of our Waka Ama whānau have access to ergs or whānau around the country that have ergs – these could be used for our whānau who are not able to get out on the water due to access and water conditions, particularly in the Hawkes Bay and Te Tairāwhiti regions. If you can [email protected]assist with access to an erg please contact [email protected]
Waka Ama in Pools
If Clubs or Kura have access to a pool, putting a W6 waka in the pool is an option for our tamariki and Rangatahi. The waka must be secured at both ends and this is an awesome opportunity to practice a flip drill. Check out this video for a demonstration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHlzi4lmFYc
