Hi everyone, before you know it Christmas will be over and the New year will begin. Hopefully a year of epic jet boating adventures and great river conditions! To kick off 2026 we welcome you and the family to join us for a great day on the water on the Rakaia River.

Event Details:
• Date: Saturday 3rd January
• Launch Location: Rakaia Gorge Bridge
• Launch Time: 9:30 AM
• Briefing: 10:15 AM 
• Departure: 10:30 AM sharp!!

The plan for the day is to launch at the Rakaia Gorge Bridge and boat downstream to the State Highway 1 bridge for a relaxed lunch stop. After lunch we will return back upriver to the Gorge. If time and river conditions allow, we will also spend some time boating further up through the gorge.

This run offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy one of Canterbury’s iconic rivers, with a mix of open braids and stunning gorge scenery, all while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow jet boaters.

Make sure your boat is fuelled with plenty in the tank for a full day on the river ( 4 hours) , packed with essentials including lunch ?. We look forward to seeing you there for a day of fun, adventure, and classic JBNZ spirit.

As always everyone and all boat types are welcome. If you’ve got a mini, classic, inflatable, flash or a trusty river workhorse, bring it along.

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