Trips & Events
Members have access to free Wero sessions in summer and pool nights throughout the year. Join club members on trips to rivers, lakes, or the coast. Or perhaps you'd like to try your hand at slalom, canoe polo, or flat water sprinting.
Our clubrooms are right on the water at Shroff's Beach Reserve. Paddling from the clubrooms is possible a couple of hours either side of high tide. Members can borrow boat and gear for a gold-coin donation if paddling from the clubrooms.
Check out some of our events and trips for the summer 2021-2022 season.
Tuesday pool nights at Ōtāhuhu Pool and Leisure Centre
Club boats, paddles and decks are available for people to have a go in, but you are very welcome to bring your own. It’s great to meet the locals, and see the kids and other paddlers there. Bring some thermals to keep your upper body warm. Come practice your skills before you get out on the water in summer. An excellent environment to learn in, or teach young and old dogs new tricks!
Every second Tuesday 6:30 - 7:45pm.
Dates pending - we are trying to resolve with the Pool regarding Covid access.
