A fun way to showcase our sport at the Kaiapoi MOMAC River Festival. Arrive at 2:30 to divide into boats and have a bit of a warm up. Have a couple of races in front of the captive audience at The Platform. Stay around for a catch up and some refreshments while watching some of the other watercraft race.
