Launching: from 9:00am
Briefing: 9:45am
Departure: 10:00am

With the Canterbury Branch continuing to grow, and after chatting with some new members who haven’t yet experienced this section of the river, we reckon it’s time to get a trip underway.

Join us for a relaxed club run on the beautiful Waimakariri River. We’ll launch at the Waimakariri Gorge Bridge and make our way upstream together at a crusiey social pace, stopping off to explore a few spots along the way.

Our first stop will be at Walker Hut for morning tea. From there, we’ll continue upriver toward Esk Pool for lunch, before making our way back downstream in the afternoon at your own leisurely pace.

As always, this trip is for everybody. Those who want to head ahead of the pack at their own speed are more than welcome to do so.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow members and make the most of Canterbury’s most jet boated river.

Whether you’re a seasoned boater or new to the club, this run promises fun, adventure, and great company. Don’t miss out, mark your calendar and get ready for a memorable day on the water.

As always, everyone and all boat types are welcome. Minis, classics, inflatables, flash rigs or river workhorses, bring them along.

If you’re new and have never been on a club run before, please don’t be shy. Take the leap and join in on the fun. You’re guaranteed not to regret coming.

? NEW BOATERS – let us know before or on the day and we will look after you. We’re here to help make your jet boating experience as enjoyable as possible. ?
