The Mangahao National Championships weekend was an incredible success, with over 60 entries spanning U14 to Masters categories. We were thrilled to witness some exciting performances from paddlers of all ages, showcasing the talent in our community. A massive thank you goes out to our dedicated volunteers, officials, and the families who supported the event—it couldn't have happened without you. Congratulations to all of our newly crowned national champions! We look forward to seeing everyone back on the river in January for more exciting paddling action.
