Kaimai Canoe Club in Tauranga and Trust Power have recently released 27 flow days for the Wairoa River for the 2020/21 season, with the first release this spring on 27th September.
One extra release this season (normally only 26 a year) on February 28 is in compensation for a flow cancellation during Covid-19 Level 3 in May 2020.
There is a Saturday/Sunday release planned 13th and 14th of February 2021, most likely for the Wairoa Extreme Race. Stay tuned on the Wairoa Race Facebook page for further developments on this.
