For the Poverty Bay Kayak Club the physical damage was significant. As the banks of Waimata River burst almost two metre high of water poured into the boatshed, destroying 20 boats, sets of roller doors on the riverside and the roadside, the jetty and a coach boat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4987 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_080524374-e1691964385565.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_080524374-e1691964385565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_080524374-e1691964385565-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4988 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_079924377-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_079924377-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_079924377-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_079924377-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_079924377-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_079924377-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It was quite unprecedented,\u201d explains PBKC president Matt Cairns. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a few club members who remember Cyclone Bola in 1988 which caused flooding which went one rack high in the boatshed. We tried to prepare (for Gabrielle) by getting two racks worth of boats on to higher ground. But we couldn\u2019t prepare for everything. The water came in so fast it had reached head high and the silt was chest high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cProbably half of our club owned boats were destroyed as were many of our boats for under-12 paddlers. We faced a huge challenge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Kayak community rallied to support the clubs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately help was at hand. CRNZ quickly launched a Give a Little page to aid the cause of both clubs, contributing $2000 to get it started.\u00a0 The Kiwi kayaking community answered the call and $4000 was donated to PBKC to support their post-cyclone recovery. Yet there was also huge backing from other clubs offering boats and calls from individuals\u00a0 prepared to help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was awesome and humbling to receive that level of support from the paddling community,\u201d explains Matt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5312\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5312\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5312 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230603_112859-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230603_112859-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230603_112859-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230603_112859-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230603_112859-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230603_112859-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5312\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PBKRC members getting stuck in to repair and replace the damage caused from flooding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the wake of the cyclone, the Hawke\u2019s Bay Kayak Racing Club faced a different challenge. While the club sustained some water damage it was the emotional fallout for club members who had either had homes or livelihoods destroyed which presented the most immediate threat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAfter speaking to CRNZ we made it clear we needed an outreach programme to make sure we were working with the families who were impacted,\u201d explains club chair Lionel da Silva.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur main challenge was to work with the younger community to keep them in the sport and to make sure those families pulled through. We set up one on one meetings with paddlers and their parents. The way the community pulled together was amazing. We had so many heroic stories. Our junior coach Barry Coleman had silt up his driveway and when he went to get some groceries club members rallied around and removed the silt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Keane family lost their home but five club members worked solidly to clear out the house.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As club chair, however, Lionel recognised that given the trauma many\u00a0 members were experiencing in the wake of the Cyclone this would present a huge obstacle for some to return to the sport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So to avoid such an outcome, Lionel used the $2000 donated through the Give a Little appeal to support members financially. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The club covered the subs for one youngster and paid the flights for another to attend an Asia Pacific training camp at Lake Karapiro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith the donated\u00a0 money we could ascertain where the need was and we could back off on charging families certain fees. We could also subsidise transport costs for nationals. It went far as a gesture of support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Returning to the water<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other great challenge facing both clubs was getting paddlers back on the water and thankfully both received immeasurable support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matt explains: \u201cFollowing the cyclone we faced a situation, which could have gone one of two ways. It was either this is getting too hard or we find a way out of this. Fortunately our active paddlers kept going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Clark family had a small lake \u2013 Manutuke \u2013 on their land which could be regularly accessed for training with the Waimata River still in recovery mode post-Cyclone. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lake may only measure 300 or 400m long but it gave club members the precious opportunity to paddle on decent water in preparation for nationals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the Clive River still in recovery mode, HBKRC welcomed the use of a 1km long lake &#8211; Bridge Pa \u2013 on the Glazebrook Farm to allow regular training to continue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5313\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5313\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5313 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Glazebrooks-lake-TLE-1024x663.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Glazebrooks-lake-TLE-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Glazebrooks-lake-TLE-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Glazebrooks-lake-TLE-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Glazebrooks-lake-TLE-1536x995.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Glazebrooks-lake-TLE.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The generous use of Glazebrooks lake has meant HBKRC has been able to continue to run club training and activities when the Clive River has been unusable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Light at the end of the tunnel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the durability of both clubs \u2013 Poverty Bay and Hawke\u2019s Bay \u2013 they not only sent a strong contingent to the NZCT New Zealand and Oceania Canoe Sprint Championships on Lake Karapiro in April but thrived, winning a slew of medals despite facing the most challenging of build ups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hawkes-bay-girls-at-2023nationals.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hawkes-bay-girls-at-2023nationals.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hawkes-bay-girls-at-2023nationals-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hawkes-bay-girls-at-2023nationals-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than six months on and the recovery process is still ongoing. The Poverty Bay club is still operating without power and the Waimata River is \u201cquite unhealthy\u201d according to Matt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet in the wake of the cyclone and showing great resilience Matt prefers to dwell on the positives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn a number of areas we are in a good spot re-building,\u201d he explains. \u201cYes, we lost some gear but the new boats that are arriving are more modern which will allow us to better engage with schools and grow as a club. We have a dozen singles ordered and six doubles. The doubles are neat because they can be steered from the back allowing the youngsters to have a go while the more experienced paddlers can coach and steer from the back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTraditionally we have been a sprint kayak club but we are working with local suppliers to have Nordic Kayaks, which will allow paddlers to sit on top of the water and are more versatile out in the ocean.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There has also been initial talks with Gisborne District Council for Poverty Bay Kayak Club along with the local rowing and Waka Ama clubs to move to higher ground and a new facility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is nice to know there is good collaboration,\u201d adds Matt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HBKRC too faces its challenges in the future. The river mouth on the Clive River has not properly recovered from the cyclone. Paddlers can only now train on high tide and in bad weather the river doesn\u2019t wash properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet out of the disaster shafts of light are definitely present. Besides the financial boost from the CRNZ community , Sport Hawke\u2019s Bay have also been a rock of support with plans to donate the club a new 20ft container for storage. The intermediate and junior squads are as large as ever and the club boasts around 37 active paddlers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt has been a humbling experience and we have rallied together with not only the assistance of CRNZ but the whole paddling community who have shown a great deal of empathy,\u201d adds Lionel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you to the CRNZ Community for the support shown to these clubs in their time of need.
