Press release day 3 Karapiro National Sprint Championships 2019
(WEDS 16) Today we had 13 Championship Finals and our Corporate race - here we level the ground, sponsors become paddlers just like
everyone else. Waka Ama is a perfect equalizer as regardless of age or station, it all comes down to technique,
teamwork, and commitment to the kaupapa.
(THURS 17) Tomorrow we have Singles Paddlers from 11 years to 70+, we feature adaptive paraplegic paddlers who are aiming to qualify for the
Olympic games. More about this as it unfolds tomorrow (Thursday 17th)
