Orewa Beach is set to host the Rowing New Zealand Beach Sprint Championships on 5th and 6th April, marking a major milestone for this fast-growing rowing discipline.

Beach sprint rowing is quickly gaining popularity as a dynamic, spectator-friendly format.

Unlike traditional rowing on flat water, this version begins with a beach sprint to the boat, followed by a fast-paced slalom course, and ends with a dramatic sprint back to shore.

The Rowing NZ Beach Sprint Championships at Orewa promises to be a thrilling spectacle, featuring world-class competitors and rising stars pushing the limits for national team selection.
