Whangarei Rowing Club

A fantastic day for our club as we came together to celebrate the achievements of the season.

We kicked things off on the water with a fun mixed knock-out sprints session, before coming together for our season awards, a shared meal, and words of encouragement and wisdom from our honourable Mayor, Ken Couper — an ex-rower himself.

A big thank you to Ken for joining us, and to everyone who helped make the day happen.

We’re ready to build on the momentum.
Bring on the 2026/2027 season! 🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️
