About Us
Mangawhai Waka Ama was established in late 2016 and is the outrigger canoe club for the east coast of the Kaipara District. We are blessed with an amazing harbour, moana, surf bar and beaches. A paddling paradise!
From our humble beginnings we have grown from strength to strength, now having over 50 members, a club storage container/base and club equipment.
Our club karakia
Kia hora te marino
Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana
Hei huarahi mā tatou i te rangi nei
Aroha atu, Aroha mai
Tātou i a tatou katoa
Haumi e, Hue e! Taiki e
May peace be widespread
May the sea be like greenstone
A pathway for us all this day
Let us show respect
for one another
Bind us all together

Our club is based out of the little black shipping container beside the carpark at the end of Mangawhai Heads Road (beside the Mangawhai Heads Holiday Park). This is where we meet to launch our waka from.
