Virtual National Surfski Champs launched
The Canoe Racing New Zealand Virtual Surfski Championships will act as the launch event for an exciting new series of virtual races organised by CRNZ which are open to paddlers from around the world.
Alert Level Two and what it means
With our (hopefully) impending move to Level 2, it looks like our clubs will be able to consider re-opening and resuming club paddling activities. However, it is important to review all relevant rules, information and guidance carefully, and for each club to create a health and safety plan that is suitable to their specific environment and needs.

Covid update to paddlers
Firstly, thank you all for your commitment to staying off the water over the last few weeks, following the issue of government guidelines on 3 April prohibiting watersports at Alert Level 4. It appears that New Zealand is tracking well towards containing (and hopefully eliminating) Covid-19, and we are all a part of that project.
