Tuesday 8th September 2026 Club Night
17 people at the club tonight, 14 paddlers.
10 knot breeze, -record low low water tonight, started at -250mm and finished at -350mm, really difficult conditions as can be seen by all the red on the score card.
Tonight’s winner was Connor Jacob who got to within 28 seconds of his nominated time.

Club Night 25 August 2026
Low water tonight at 30mm and 10 knot breeze. Not as many paddlers took to the water as has usually been the case this winter. Most went slower than they nominated on the Riverton Bridge course, but the only exception who also happened to be closest to their nominated time was Alistair Fox, just six seconds off.

We welcomed back Club icons Christian and Judith fresh from a great holiday in Canada and straight back into the timing chair. Thanks also to Phil and Jason who assisted with timing duties.

Check out the comments for some of the paddlers in action.

Club Night 18 August 2026
Technology failed us tonight with our race control laptop locking us out from setting up. We resorted to a traditional paper method. This didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the paddlers. Lowish water again tonight, though this is less of a factor for the Mt Henry Bridge course. A little bit of wind didn’t have much effect on times either with some sharp performances and most going faster than they had forecast.

Closest to their nominated time was Luc, five seconds off. Thanks to timers Phil once again, assisted by Jon and Rod. Thanks also to Dave U for the results presentation and comedy routine.

Club Night 11 August 2026
Low water tonight at -050 and dropping. 13 took to the water. Very slow times with most going slower than they nominated. Closest to their nominated time was Cindy Coward, just one second off. Thanks to timers Phil and Alistair.

Well done all Avon Descenters, especially our Club members for their efforts - Connor, Jake, Alistair, Georgia and Jason.

Tuesday 4th August 2026 Club Night.

Our run of glorious Tuesday night weather continued tonight. The water level was up on last week at 165mm on the Gardiner water meter. Downstream course to Mt Henry Bridge and back to Shelley Sailing Club.

Jake Hammond tuned up for this weekend’s Avon Descent with the fastest time of the night, and it was Richard Tempest who was the nomination winner with only a five second gap.

Thanks to timers Phil and John.

We enjoyed pizza after the race and wished our brave Avon Descent paddlers all the best for the huge challenge that awaits them. Go Jake, Alistair, Georgia, Connor and Jason! We’re still hoping for some last minute rain to add some much needed water flow. Whether that eventuates or not, it’s sure to be a big adventure and all will have their own tale to tell afterwards.

Tuesday 28th July 2026 Club Night.

19 members present tonight, with 17 paddlers on the water enjoying yet another still, clear winter’s night. Again the water level was at 0mm on the Gardiner water meter. Upstream course to Riverton Bridge and back to Shelley Sailing Club.

Jake Hammond and Jos Doak-Smith had a great tussle to be the fastest by some margin, but the nomination winner Paul Genovese, whose time was just one second from what he nominated.

Thanks to timers Phil and Simon.

Pizza night next Tuesday, where we will wish our Avon Descent paddlers all the best and perhaps do a little rain dance to get some much-needed water in the river.

Tuesday 21st July 2026 Club Night.
20 members tonight, with 18 paddlers enjoying practically a carbon copy of last week’s conditions with the water level at 0mm on the Gardiner water meter, a mild temperature, clear sky and no wind.
Downstream course to Mt Henry Bridge and back to Shelley Sailing Club.
Jake Hammond was fastest once again and in a plastic PRS ski what’s more.
Tonight’s nomination winner was Club President, Simon O’Sullivan, whose time was just one second from what he nominated.
Thanks timers Phil and Mike.

Tuesday 14th July 2026 Club Night
19 paddlers took to the water. The level was at 0mm on the Gardiner water meter and dropping. Despite the low tide and being mid-winter, it was another lovely night, with a mild temperature, clear skies and no wind.
Upstream course. For most to Riverton Bridge, with a couple opting for an earlier turn at the pipeline before heading back to the Sailing Club.
Most paddlers were too optimistic with their nominations, seemingly not accounting enough for the slowing effect of shallow water.
Jake Hammond though can hold his head high with a sharp time that was not only the fastest on the night, but the only one who went faster than forecast.
Tonight’s winner was Peter Ferguson whose race time was just four seconds from what he nominated.
Thanks timers Phil and Chris.
