Today I've learned after the double-hulled canoe Hawaikinui was built and sailed from Tahiti to New Zealand. Clubs were set up around the country, and in 1987 a national body was formed and how long we have been using waka's
My name's Ruby and I'm one of the people who will be blogging with you over the summer a part of the Summer Learning Journey. It's great to see that you've made a start on these activities. Well done!
It's great that you would want to be in a Waka Ama race! I think it would be a lot of fun. You would need to practice a lot of things before you could be in a Waka Ama race! What sorts of things do you think you would need to practice?
Have you ever been in a kayak before? It would be similar to being in a Waka. I have been in a kayak a few times, but I always get really sea sick so don't enjoy it very much.
I look forward to reading more of your blog over summer. Cheers, Ruby.
