Ngā mihi nui to everyone at Karāpiro for the Karapiro Rowing Incorporated North Island Rowing Champs 2026! 🛶🍓
Wow… what a weekend! The weather really tested everyone, wild wind, rain, and races paused (and some cancelled) but the energy, resilience and spirit on the lake was still something special.
A huge thank you to all the crews, supporters and families who came and found us for Choc Strawbs 🍓🍫
We were so grateful for the repeat customers over the 3 days (you know who you are!) honestly, seeing you come back again and again made the whole weekend.
We loved meeting so many of you, hearing how the racing was going, and sharing a little Choc Strawbs in between the madness of the weather.
Even with the wet + wild wind, we hope you still had an awesome time and made some great memories.
Safe travels home everyone and we look forward to seeing you again soon! 💛
