With 2017 Te Aito Cook Islands at an end, we'd like to offer up a big meitaki maata to everyone who competed in this years event. The conditions on the day may have been less than favourable, but in the end it only proved, even more so, the high level of skill our paddlers possessed. Also a big meitaki maata to everyone who helped organise 2017 Te Aito Cook Islands; without you this event wouldn't be possible. We'll see you all next year!

With the competition officially over, we'd like to offer up the biggest congratulations to 2017 Te Aito Cook Islands men's division winner, Raunui Makiroto (Pictured left). With three 1st place Te Aito Cook Islands titles now officially under his belt, we can only hope to see him continue his epic reign in the next Te Aito Cook Islands. Until then meitaki maata Raunui, it was a privilege to see you compete. We wish you all the best for Tahiti!
