The Kahawai tagline of kia kaha i te wai \u2013 be strong in the water \u2013 was perfectly exemplified by all the paddlers who competed in challenging conditions at the inaugural Kahawai Paddling Championships in T\u0101maki Makaurau on Saturday.<\/p>

A tricky on shore breeze at Wakatere Boating Club did not deter the fun and excitement of the inaugural Kahawai paddling event \u2013 designed to develop the next generation of paddlers \u2013 as the youngsters fully embraced the event.<\/p>

Supported by a number of national women\u2019s squad members, including double Olympic champion Lisa Carrington, the paddlers competed in a series of races in the U12, U14, U16 and U18 age divisions.<\/p>

The dynamic new paddling format \u2013 set up to bridge the gap between the different paddling disciplines – saw competitors race around a rectangular course and back to the finish line in contests between two to four minutes in length.<\/p>

\u201cThe whole day was a really positive experience for all and played out to a fun vibe,\u201d explains event organiser Danika Mowlem of CRNZ.<\/p>

\u201cFor the younger age groups just getting around the course was a big accomplishment. Many of the kids were very nervous on the start line, but once they had finished the race they had a big smile on their faces. The enthusiasm of the parents was also a real positive and we even got the parents to join in a kids v parents race.<\/p>

\u201cIt was a positive first go at the Kahawai format. We are very excited by the thought of making it bigger and better in the future.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Among those offering their support was a group of New Zealand women\u2019s elite and U23 paddlers led by Teneale Hatton as race director, and supported by Lisa, Alicia Hoskin, Alex Bermingham, Olivia Brett and North Shore paddler Christy Tate. NZ Squad member Lucy Matahaere added a special touch to the start of the day, briefing the paddlers on the Kahawai concept and leading the karakia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The women were happy to lead the pre-race warm ups, offer words of encouragement and support to the paddlers and were all more than happy to meet any photo requests from the enthusiastic participants.<\/p>

Experienced broadcaster Mark Watson also brought another layer of professionalism to the event by acting as race day commentator. Lifeguards (and brothers) Grant and Reid Clancy from Piha Surf Life Saving Club provided event safety, paddling boards to help capsized paddlers back into their boats and offering coaching and encouragement to the younger ones.<\/p>

Canoe Racing NZ CEO Tom Ashley said \u201cWe have been working on the Kahawai concept for over a year now, and it\u2019s a huge milestone to run our first event. A lot of thought has gone into the format, and how we can set up Kahawai as the missing link between different paddling disciplines.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWe are really grateful for the support we received on Saturday \u2013 it was amazing to have such a great group of paddlers and parents, and special that some of the best paddlers in the world made time to ensure they had the best experience possible.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cBased on Saturday, we see heaps of potential in Kahawai. We can\u2019t wait to roll the events out around New Zealand and look forward to seeing interest grow over the next seasons.\u201d<\/p>

We would love to hear your feedback on the very first Kahawai Paddling Championships. If you could express your thoughts on the experience to Danika Mowlem \u2013 danika.mowlem@canoeracing.org.nz\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
