Have decided to postpone the Hoe Toa race on Saturday 30th January 2010. I (Kingi G) didn’t give the race enough of a marketing push before January and as such the paddler numbers are low. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will look at running another event later in the year. Warmest regards, Kingi Gilbert (Race Director).,

The race call will be made at 12:00 midday on Friday 29 January 2010. Stay tuned to the website.
