University of Canterbury Canoe Club
Christchurch,
New Zealand
The objectives of the club are "to promote interest in and to participate in whitewater, lake, slalom, downriver, canoe polo and other canoeing activities, river conservation and water safety". This essentially leaves the direction of the club open to its strengths at the time. It is important that the club is flexible enough to be responsive to the members interests, however because the club trains it’s new members according to the strengths of the old, it tends to be consistent in it’s focus.
The club’s traditional and current priority is largely with recreational river kayaking with a major emphasis on introducing newcomers to the sport on a solid diet of skills and safety instruction. Apart from this, canoe polo has been steadily increasing in popularity for over ten years and there is, from time to time, interest in slalom and down-river racing, triathlons, surfing, squirt and play boating varying with club membership composition..
