NEED 1 PADDLER AND 1 STEERER CAN BE WOMEN OR MEN


Kia ora, we're a crew of 4 women from New Zealand looking for two more paddlers for Saturday's iron race - one of whom needs to be an experienced steerer. We are mixed ages 1 x open paddler, 1 x master and 2 x golden master. We have all paddled this race previously and raced around the world including Fiji, Rarotonga, Aotearoa and California. We are open to women or men but would need two men to be able to compete as a mixed crew.

A little backstory... my partner and I met at this race in 2022. This year we're heading back to Kona to paddle it again, just a few days before we get married on a canoe off of Kamakahonu beach.

Come and be part of our crew and our wedding story! message if you're keen.

We now have a 5th paddler but still looking for a female steerer - can be any age :) Reply 1 of 2
What an amazing story! I’m happy to be a back up paddler for you if for some reason your current crew of 5 doesn’t work out. I am unfortunately not a steersman. Congratulations! Reply 2 of 2
