Raising money for international kayak marathons Denmark!

Hi, I’m Deva.

Recently I was selected to race for New Zealand in marathon kayaking!

I’ve been competing in sports since I was little, and picked up kayaking about a year ago. When I was eight, I joined junior surf life saving at Piha, and eventually I became a lifeguard and involved in surf life saving sport. My favourite event was the ski race, which led me to kayaking, having the passion to get faster and better in the ski. Over the last year, I have trained daily in kayaking and improved a lot.

After our marathon nationals I was selected into the small team going to Denmark to race for NZ where I will be racing the U18 women 19km race.

Over the next couple of months I will be preparing for this race to perform the best I can and I am super excited to represent the country, and to travel over seas for the first time.

Any contributions would be greatly appreciated!
