Mo ngā awa te aroha, he waiaroha — For the love of rivers

Practical information and tools for paddlers, and the work we do to look after rivers and each other.

On the river

• Safety. Report an incident, find the safety code and grading system, and build your skills
• Incident Library. Write-ups of past incidents on New Zealand rivers and the lessons paddlers have drawn from them.
• Check, Clean, Dry. Stop the spread of didymo and the invasive gold clam every time you move between rivers.
• River Rescue Training for Clubs. The river rescue course pathway, providers, and how clubs can seek funding for training.

Looking after rivers

• Access. Protect your right to get on the river, and report an access issue when you hit a problem.
• Conservation. How we work to keep rivers flowing and healthy, with iwi, hapū, agencies and other river users.

Our community and the organisation

• Education. Supporting and growing the paddling community.
• Clubs directory (coming soon). Find an affiliated club, and see what affiliation gives you and how to affiliate.
• WWNZ Documents. Annual reports, AGM minutes, financial accounts and the constitution
• Submissions. An archive of the formal submissions Whitewater NZ has made over the years.
