Overseas Paddlers
As race orgasiners we would love to have our overseas paddlers join us again, but in the current environment we know this may not be possible.
Below is some information we have put together to assit with the planning of your trip.
The Takapuna Beach Cup takes place on Takapuna Beach. Takapuna is one of Aucklands best beach towns and offers visitors, great accommodation, cafe's, boutique shops, a modern shopping centre, excellent bars and restuarants, all within walking distance to the event. The beach and grass reserve is a haven for locals and visitors, who flock to picnic, swim and play, all while taking in the stunning views of Rangitoto volcanic island and other Hauraki Gulf Islands.
There is a scenic coastal walkway that runs from Takapuna Beach to Milford Beach for thoes who would like to strech their legs after a long journey.
