Rowing in a paddock…

Last year Nigel Van Den Akker finished 6^th in the world in the New Zealand Junior Men’s Coxed Four at the 2010 World Rowing Championships in Racice, Czech Republic. This international rowing experience gives Nigel a huge advantage when it comes to having to row in a paddock beside the Wairoa River, rather than on the river. The Bay Coast Rowing Club Rowing Sheds are 2 feet underwater. Coach Rob Francis took these photos Date taken 29.1.2011
