Tamati‑Irie Cooper 🫡

We met him in 2025 after the Pipiwai Bombing Competition when he joined our crew, and he’s been a solid addition ever since. A humble young man who always arrives with his biggest supporters beside him, his whānau.

We know he’ll come back in 2027 hungry for a spot in the top 3. Their division is stacked with some of the best in the world, so it’s never an easy climb, but the more they watch, listen, and learn, the better they get.

His whānau don’t just show up for Tamati. They show up for all of us. They bring the energy, the noise, the encouragement, and they capture the moments I miss while running around. Their presence has been a huge motivation and a real support behind the scenes.

Muza and Kuini, thank you. Your support never goes unnoticed. 💛

The underdog, who made the Grand Finals and proved he’s one to watch. Reihana Kay pushed through and earned 6th place in the Youth Male Division a result that shows just how far he’s come and how much potential he has! 😮‍💨💯
