NGA MIHI - THANK YOU FROM THE NZDBA!!

As we bring the 2026 Dragon Boat Racing season to a close with the completion of our 2026 National Championships Regatta the NZDBA Board would like to thank the National's Organising Committee and all of our volunteers for their tireless and amazing mahi not just during the event itself but also in the months (actually the year) leading up to it. It takes a community to run this event and to run our sport in general. Huge thanks you to you all! - Ngaa mihi nunui kia koutou kaiwhakahaere maa, kaimahi maa, kaiawhina maa, kaihoe maa hoki!!

Head over to our NZDBA Dragon Boat Nationals Facebook page for all the vids, pics and stories to relive it all!

At the Prizegiving and post Nationals celebration, the NZDBA also announced that we would be taking Nationals back to the South Island for the first time since 2018!!
