A race on the river from Cambridge to Hamilton attracted 300 paddlers on Sunday.
They completed a 25km journey from Cambridge – or 11kms from The Narrows boat ramp – to reach the Grantham St boat ramp in Hamilton.
Vessels included kayaks, stand up paddle boards, waka, ocean surf skis, club surf skis and surf boats.
The fastest male time of 1h 31m was shared by Liam Lace and Gene Prato on ocean skis, and fastest women was Danika Mowlem in 1h 38m also on an ocean ski.
There were also many noncompetitive paddlers in the cruise division, enjoying a day on the river.
Competitors ranged in age from six to 80.
