j19 42km and 21km rules

Currently the Waka Ama NZ Race rules enable paddlers who are turning 16 in the year of competition to take part in open ocean events. However, there has never been a specific J19 division for these paddlers at the Takapuna Beach Cup and these aged 16-19 have had to compete in the Open division.
​
The introduction of J19 Division will enable bonafide  J19 teams to compete in the 42km and 21km events.

Additional Junior Division Rules: (all general 42km rules apply):
  • A coach/adult in charge of a Junior 19 crew must be at least 21 years of age and must be present on the support boat – the contact details of this person will need to be supplied at race registration
  • All paddlers must sign a waiver – if paddlers are 15 turning 16 in the year of competition– a parent or guardian must sign
  • A crew will consist of up to 10 paddlers
  • Should the weather conditions be considered adverse for Junior division teams to participate, the Race organising committee may make the call to cancel the division at any time.   
  • Minimum age paddler can turn in the year of competition: 16 years old
  • Maximum age paddler can turn in the year of competition: 19 years old
General 42km rules: http://www.takapunabeachcup.com/42km-marathon.html
 
21km all rules apply

These divisions will be eligible for prize money if the division meets the prizemoney criteria.
