Over 100 competitors from around New Zealand enjoyed perfect weather and water conditions on Saturday andSunday.
Central region president Iain Bill said the national contest was scheduled to be held at Lake Wiritoa in 2020 but was postponed due to Covid-19.
Bill said competitors were highly scrutinised during the competitions with one judge in the boat, two on either side of the lake and a calculator monitoring from the prefab onshore.
"These are world rankings and someone just might set a new world record here so we have to make sure everything is carefully checked.
