Front Design by Ben Thomason – Ara Auaha @ara_auaha 
Featuring haehae and pūhoro motifs, the design speaks to the deep connection paddlers have with the water — a symbol of their journey, speed, and purpose as they represent Aotearoa globally. The mangopare represents strength and resilience, while the koru reflects the whānau and supporters behind every paddler’s success.

Back Design by Henare Brooking – MOKOIRA TOI AKE (Māori Art Gallery)
A powerful kaitiaki watching over our paddlers, this design embodies grit, determination, and mana. It also carries a heartfelt tribute to the late Kiwi Campbell — honouring her enduring legacy and contribution to Aotearoa’s waka ama whānau through past World Championship campaigns.
