🚫 Paddle Pop Cancelled – High Winds Incoming 🚫

Kia ora team!
Tomorrow’s Paddle Pop (26 July) is cancelled due to the expected high winds. Your safety always comes first.

But don’t pack away the enthusiasm — we’re postponed to 9 August and we can’t wait to see you then. Stay keen, stay eager, and keep that paddling spirit alive.

See you next time, legends 💙💛

🌊🔥 We Play Hard. Paddle Hard. Party Hard.

We’re the crew that turns heads, brings the good vibes, and shows up with a style all our own. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be part of a team that laughs loud, paddles strong, and celebrates every win together — this Sunday is your moment.

The Paddle Pop Welcome Event on the 26th is your chance to jump in, meet the crew, and be part of something genuinely fun. No experience needed — just bring your energy and let’s make some memories on the water.

Come through, join the action, and feel the buzz of our dragon boat whānau.
See you Sunday! 💙🔥
