Description
Whaingaroa Whanau Hoe Waka Ama Club thanks everyone for travelling near and far to attend our 27th Annual Hoe Race. We promise to make this Event an enjoyable one that will give you lasting memories of our picturesque West Coast Harbour and Beaches.
This Event has lots to offer, for the newest of paddles to the heartiest of all as our conditions are forever changing and possibly challenging at times. However, we hope you and your Whanau have a fun filled day with plenty of sunshine, food, prizegiving and spot prizes.
Our Race Day has two Memorial Trophies to be awarded at the end of the day during Prizegiving.
- Chrissy Herbert Memorial Trophy for the W6 Womens 20km Race, prize going to the first Womens Team to cross the line in Race 2.
- Piripi Kereopa Memorial Trophy for the W6 Mens 20km Race, prize going to the first Senior Master Mens Team to cross the line in Race 3
