About The Event
Pioke Pursuit refers to one of the taonga species of Ngāti Wheke, Pioke / Rig or Spotted Dogfish - that is a significant part of Ngāti Wheke identity and mahinga kai (food gathering) traditions.
This race is based on a pursuit style event that was first undertaken at Rāpaki in 2003 and hosted by Te Waka Pounamu. The idea is to have a fun event, requiring little set up and minimal equipment, but that helps both novice and experienced paddlers and crews gain practice in both sprint racing and turns, and as a way to prepare for the Te Waka o Aoraki Regional Sprints in December. We are also holding the event as a way of getting our own whanau from Rāpaki involved in waka ama.
The pursuit races will be competed over 1000m for W6 Open/Adult teams and over 400m for W6 Junior crews. All racing is in Mixed…
