Waka Ama

Yesterday the year 7 and 8 students went down to Waitangi to participate in Waka Ama. Rob and Ropata taught us about how to hold and paddle a waka as well as some skills that we should keep in mind while paddling. I was in seat one on the 12 man waka. We paddled out along the beach front, then out past the Treaty Grounds. After a while my arms began getting sore. Throughout the trip people next and behind me were making it rain all over us (meaning they kept splashing us by accident). In the end it was a mean as experience and we can’t wait to keep going back every week!!!
